Katie Noonan - Alone but All One Tour - Milton

Fri, 27 Nov, 7:30 pm AEDT

Milton · Check price with organiser

Five times ARIA Award winning artist Katie Noonan has released her 30th studio album: Alone but All One. The album is an intimate and powerful exploration of love in all its stages and features Katie's first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is a powerful and delicate offering with Katie's piano and a string quartet the only accompaniment for her exquisite vocal performance. Alone but All One is a quiet turning inward - a return to something essential. Musically it is very stripped back - just Katie, her piano and a string quartet, recorded live in her lounge room on Gubbi Gubbi Country in the hills behind Nambour, Queensland. It feels like a deep breath before the next chapter. The creative intention is clear: to honour this moment, share it with care, and trust that others will feel themselves in it too.
