Tone Krohn is an award-winning folk artist, singer, and composer based in Tønsberg.
Her music has moved audiences around the world. As a passionate collector of folk songs, she is today one of Vestfold’s most important sources on the region’s local song tradition.
With a degree in musicology from the University of Oslo, and an eye for the magic of the past, she produces for stage, film, albums, and concert halls.

As a composer, Tone celebrates the beauty and power of Scandinavian folk music. At the same time, she pushes boundaries and carries tradition forward in surprising and new forms.
Her music is now performed by choirs across the world and features on numerous albums.
Tone has been nominated for a Grammy twice for her contributions as a composer on the albums FOLKSONGS with Trio Mediaeval and FOLKETONER with the Norwegian Girls’ Choir (Det Norske Jentekor).

At just 19, she received the Prøysen Award. In 2004, she was awarded the Sandefjord Culture Prize, and in 2018, the Norwegian State Artist Grant. In 2023, she also received the Vestfold and Telemark Artist Grant.

Alongside her performing and creative career, Tone has taught as a lecturer in the music program at Sandefjord Upper Secondary School for 30 years.

Excerpts from reviews:
“But more than anything, Tone Krohn’s sublime arrangements of the traditional songs ‘Till, till Tove,’ ‘So, ro godt barn,’ and ‘Maria-vise’ haunt me still. This is music I will remember and hope to hear live again next time Trio Mediaeval comes to town.”
