Singer Katie Noonan and guitarist Karin Schaupp are touring nationally - including Cowes - following the release of their latest album, which features some of Australia's finest female artists.
Award-winning artists Katie Noonan and Karin Schaupp will perform at Berninneit, Cowes, on April 6.
Following the release of their latest co-creation, Songs of the Southern Skies Volume 2, Katie and Karin have been touring nationally since last year.
Their acclaimed Southern Skies catalogue reinterprets some of their favourite songs by antipodean artists, this time focusing on some of our finest female artists.
Performing a varied program with reimagined arrangements of songs by artists such as Aunty Ruby Hunter, Missy Higgins, Sia, Kate Ceberano, Sarah Blasko and more as well as revisiting some favourites from the first Southern Skies instalment.
Renowned for breaking down genre boundaries, Katie Noonan's technical mastery and pure voice makes her one of Australia's most versatile and beloved vocalists.
Guitarist Karin Schaupp is an internationally sought-after recitalist and soloist. These two virtuosi combine forces to create a unique sound and a spellbinding performance.
The duo have an intuitive musical connection that has developed over the 20 years of their creative relationship, with their collaborations earning them an ARIA Award.
"Karin and I actually met through our music teacher mothers - my mum Maggie and her mum Isolde, at the Stoliarsky School of Music in the mid 80s in Brisbane," Katie says.
"Although neither of us remember meeting, we admired each other's musical journeys from afar as we both became professional musicians."
She said in 2004, Richard Tognetti (Australian Chamber Orchestra) partnered her with Karin and they started collaborating.
"Playing with Karin is such an exquisite pleasure, but what has been even more special is that we have become close friends and it's been wonderful to share the experience of being professional working mums together".
