Sissel in Concert

European singing sensation and star of two new PBS specials, Sissel has

captured the hearts of concert audiences all over the world thanks to her

astonishingly crystal clear voice and one of the most amazing musical

repertoires of any modern artist.

Best known as Norway’s greatest musical superstar, she first drew widespread

attention as intermission artist at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest, broadcast

from her hometown of Bergen in Norway. Anyone who listened to this

intermission performance never forgets it. Sissel was introduced to American

audiences as the beautiful young vocalist who opened the Winter Olympics in

Lillehammer in 1994, and went on to make a dramatic impact on cinema as the

church in a most rarely seen location: the tiny Norwegian village of Roros.

Guests include world-renown tenor Jose Carreras, one of the last remaining

Three Tenors, and the premier string ensemble of Norway. Sissel also was

invited as special guest singer by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra

in a magnificent Christmas special taped in Salt Lake City last year.

Sissel will tour the U.S. early 2008 with her Northern Lights Concert. “With my

music, I hope to touch the hearts of the listener. I have to believe in it first to

make you believe in it. This album and concert is me. I truly hope you will enjoy

my music and my “Northern Light”!”
