It's official: Joni is among 14 artists to be honored in Toronto later this year at Harbourfront Centre's "World Leaders: A Festival of Creative Genius." To demonstrate that "the true world leaders of today are not politicians but creative artists," the festival, which runs from September 24 to October 30, will feature hommages to 14 major artists; the Joni Mitchell Hommage is scheduled for October 19. A festival website, launched today, includes complete information and a special section for each of the honored artists. Tickets for all festival events will be available online June 4.
