Australian singer extraordinaire Katie Noonan is refusing to let the Covid-19 pandemic get in the way of her dreams. This incredibly prolific musician has produced 20 albums, and won five Aria’s for her endlessly innovative body of work. Her creativity knows no bounds, from leading the Queensland Music Festival as artistic director, to putting a jazz spin on 80’s classics in her last album The Sweetest Taboo. Now, as Katie tells us on Streets of Your Town podcast,  she is giving audiences the chance to hear Indigenous songs and newly commissioned Australian music alongside late Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces as part of the eclectic repertoire of her new Australian Vocal Ensemble, or Ave. I was lucky enough to speak to Katie in a break from final rehearsals before Ave’s debut in Brisbane on Saturday April 10, before the album's release in August and Ave tours around the country in September.
