Fiddle and Drum at the Winter Olympics

Posted April 28, 2009

Joni's ballet will be performed 3 times during the Winter Olympics in January. Performance dates are January 22-24 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Two Canadian cultural luminaries join forces in this dazzling ballet, which blends the music and images of legendary singer-songwriter and visual artist Joni Mitchell with the choreographic invention of Alberta Ballet's artistic director Jean Grand-Maître. A searing social commentary, the work gives passionate expression to the many shades of the human spirit: its capacity to create and destroy, to love and hate, and for war and peace.

First introduced to audiences in 2007, this expanded full-length production features four additional Mitchell songs, illuminated by her latest artwork and Grand-Maître's choreography.
