ABOUT
"When Mette arranges a song, the borders we normally put up between classical and non-classical music disappears. With her rare and extremely gifted understanding of music, she succeeds in transforming the different world's expressions and cultures into not just a dialogue, but a shared language sounding like the purest, magical poetry."
Jonas H. Petersen
