	Remembering Ole Bull’s dream (Norway - the official site in the United States)
		On the 150th anniversary of Bull’s land purchase, a few hundred people gathered in what is now Pennsylvania’s Ole Bull State Park to commemorate the violinist’s attempt to form a Norwegian colony in the area.
		It was Bull who in his national-romantic efforts to promote a distinct Norwegian identity in a country then dominated by Sweden took the initiative to establish the first Norwegian-speaking theatre in the country, in Bergen, and who went out and recruited a brilliant but struggling playwright from Skien in East Norway to head the theatre.
		It was Bull who persuaded Grieg’s parents to send their son to Europe for his musical education, and soon Grieg came to consider Bull his mentor.
