ASTORIA — Have you heard of “hygge” (pronounced hoo-ga)? It’s the Danish concept of contentment achieved through all things comfortable and cozy.

Treat yourself to a taste of the Hygge Lyfe from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, in the Astoria Library Flag Room. Bring a book, or a quiet craft like knitting or coloring, and kick back. Snack on cake and warm beverages as local artist Larkin plays ambient music — original compositions and improvisations on the hammered dulcimer — and feel the hygge.

Larkin has performed in 15 countries, four continents and at the occasional Astoria Art Walk. He has released 12 albums including “Inside the Astoria Column,” a solo flute recording.

The Astoria Library is at 450 10th St. For information about library programs and services, contact 503-325-7323 or visit astorialibrary.org.
