Joni Mitchell is perhaps the most important female artist and songwriter from the late 1960s to the present day. In the concert "Joni Mitchell in Norwegian" you get to hear some of her fantastic songs in Norwegian reinterpretation. Karoline Gregersen has placed great emphasis on preserving the lyrics' ideas and poetic expression. "Both sides now", "The river" and many other well-known Joni Mitchell songs get a new musical expression with open, acoustic and groovy arrangements.
