"The hour long song, poetry and jazz-like concert performance was initiated with just the four musicians playing onstage. From the loudspeakers song by Cecilie was heard. But then she came in using the back door, sitting singing on a swing. She can almost become the Norah Jones of Halden, we took the risk to note. The songs (unfortunately not named in the program) were initiated with Animated Fairy, a nicely capturing and great melody which was performed by the quintet in a soft involved manner. Yes, even though this was the evening of Cecilie (text writer, composer, singer), the competent and very attentive musicians were to a large degree responsible for the successful complete image: Tord Gustavsen (grand piano), Øivind Tollefsen (guitar), Mats Eilertsen (double bass) and Eivind Kløverød (percussion). (...) Effects were few, but as efficient as the nice, simple illumination. Birgitte Strid (direction) should be thanked for it."
