Oslo World festival started with a very special and emotional opening concert Utopian Lullabies showcasing amazing performances from a host of female singers. The performance was curated by Spanish actress Rossy de Palma. We could see on stage Silvia Perez Cruz, Natacha Atlas, Hindi Zahra, Liniker, Ane Brun, Ayo and de Palma herself.
"It was the perfect launch for a programme that contemplated ‘Utopia’; it was exactly the show of love, unity and compassion that would make such an ideal achievable." Songlines

The excellent polish bass-player Kinga Głyk, who will perform at Cosmopolite on the International Women’s Day on March 8th, got the opportunity to lead her band at a young age. This experience helped her become more confident and aware of her own opinions and desires. As a result, it made her a better person, she says in this interview.
Cosmopolite Scene are looking for dedicated volunteers who want to be part of an inspiring environment and contribute to creating amazing musical experiences. We want to expand our family, and we need your help!
