Dancing Joni

Although she’s a world-renowned superstar, to us, Joni Mitchell is still the epitome of cool Prairie girl. Born in Alberta and raised in Saskatchewan, the singer, songwriter and painter recently added choreographer to her repertoire.

Collaborating with The Alberta Ballet’s Artistic Director Jean Grand-Maître, the two created The Fiddle and The Drum, a production combining Mitchell’s music, art and dance.

First performed in 2007, the production has returned to its Alberta roots with an updated show that includes four new songs.

Fingers crossed Ms. Mitchell makes a return as well—we love an encore.

The Fiddle and the Drum, February 26-28, Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, 1415 14th Ave. NW, Calgary. For tickets, 403-245-4549 or visit www.ticketmaster.ca
