Nobel Calls Miss Ross
Soul diva Diana Ross, American country singer Dierks Bentley, Canadian singer Feist and Norway singer/songwriter Marit Larsen will perform at this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
Others on the bill for the Dec. 11 show at Oslo Spektrum include Mexican singer/songwriter Julieta Venegas and Nigerian star Seun Kuti. American actress Scarlett Johansson will host the show.
Norwegian Nobel Committee’s non-voting secretary Geir Lundestad said the concert, which will be televised in as many as 100 countries, is the most popular event on the Nobel calendar.
A day earlier at the city’s Nobel Peace Center, this year’s prize will be presented to former Finnish president and United Nations diplomat Martti Ahtisaari Dec. 10.
