Sissel Kyrkjebo
 issel's rich and varied career has
spanned over 20 years. She has performed
in front of royalty and heads of state,
shared the stage with superstars of
every musical genre: classical stars,
punks, pop idols and rappers. Highlights
include singing the Olympic hymn at the
1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer,
representing Norway at the Nobel Peace
Prize Gala Concert, and performing at
the first Christmas concert in Moscow
after the fall of the Soviet Union,
invited by the great tenors Placido
Domingo and José Carreras.
When Norway celebrated its 100th
anniversary of independence in 2005,
Sissel was invited to represent Norway
on the longest running program in
history “Music and the Spoken Word”
recorded with the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir and Orchestra at the Temple Square.
They invited her back in 2006 as special
guest to their annual Christmas show
“The Spirit of the Season”. Sissel
recalls the return engagement as a
'homecoming'. The recorded result was
the concert CD, Spirit of the Season
which raced up the Billboard Classical
Charts to #1 within 5 weeks of its
release. The concert was aired
nationwide on PBS right before Christmas
2007 and released as a DVD.
