In October of 2011, the St. Olaf Band
performed for King Harald and Queen
Sonja of Norway during their visit to
St. Olaf College, the second time they
have had this honor on royal visits since
1995. In 2013, the St. Olaf Band was
selected through a blind adjudication
process as one of only 10 collegiate
wind ensembles to perform at the
College Band Directors National
Association (CBDNA) national
conference at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.
The St. Olaf Band is the oldest music
organization at St. Olaf College in
Northfield, Minnesota, a campus
internationally renowned for its high
caliber of musical ensembles. The band
has toured nationally since 1904 and
internationally since 1906, when it
performed a four-week, 30-concert
tour of Norway, making it the first
American collegiate band to tour
Europe. The band has subsequently
toured several times in Norway, Great
Britain, Japan, central Europe, and in
June 2014, the Mediterranean.
Dr. Timothy Mahr ’78, St. Olaf Band
conductor and professor of music at
St. Olaf College, is a nationally
recognized composer with more than
60 works to his credit, including The
Soaring Hawk, for which he received
the ABA/Ostwald Award. Mahr
has guest-conducted a number of
professional and award-winning
ensembles, including the United States
Air Force Band and the United States
Army Field Band, as well as intercollegiate and all-state bands in over 25
states. He is the principal conductor
of the Minnesota Symphonic Winds, a
featured ensemble at the 2008 Midwest
Clinic, the largest international band
conference in the world.
