About the Program
Gershwin Prize
This March, The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song salutes musician, Joni Mitchell. After getting her start in coffee shops in Canada, Mitchell went on to set a new standard, marrying music and lyrics with such songs as “Both Sides, Now.” She redefined the role of women musicians, overseeing all aspects of her albums: songwriting, arrangements, performance, production and artwork.
