Mona B. Riise | Norway

Music lover leads the opening concert

The presenter, director and freelance journalist Mona B. Riise is best known from music programs such as Lydverket, Spellemann, Kulturstripa on P2 and not least Stjernekamp on NRK1 where she was an expert judge for 10 years. Mona has written the book Norsk Pop Poesi with a focus on song lyrics and has directed the documentary Stilleste Gut about Lillebjørn Nilsen on NRK. She has many projects in the works, including new music documentaries on their way to the big screen.

We are of course very happy that she would clear her calendar to take the trip to Førdefestivalen for the first time!
