Since 1959, the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance has been given out. Over the years, the award’s name has undergone a few minor changes:

Who Won Best Orchestral Performance?

Joni Mitchell won the Best Orchestral Performance.

On Sunday, iconic Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell did a victory lap at the Grammy Awards, collecting her ninth career prize, capping up a weekend honoring her indelible contributions to music.

Joni Mitchell was one of numerous Canadians who were named winners as part of music’s greatest night, but unlike most of them, she was in Las Vegas to claim her award.

Mitchell was able to shine over a frenetic Grammys weekend, which included her being named MusiCares Person of the Year by the Recording Academy on Friday.

Mitchell, dressed in white and walking slowly with a cane, ascended the stage during a pre-broadcast ceremony.

She swayed to the beat of the live band as she accepted the award for the best historical record for “Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967),” a restored boxed collection of her early work.

“I didn’t anticipate this,” Mitchell told the crowd, which erupted in applause as her name was mentioned.

Mitchell expressed gratitude to everyone involved in the effort, including filmmaker Cameron Crowe, who penned the liner notes. Patrick Milligan, a fellow compilation producer, and Bernie Grundman, a mastering engineer, also share the honor.

Mitchell subsequently joined Bonnie Raitt on the Grammys program to welcome Brandi Carlile, a fellow Grammy winner.
