Sydney Festival Artistic Director, Wesley Enoch was joined by five-time ARIA award-winning artist Katie Noonan to chat about her upcoming SydFest performance, Songs of Don.

Over the past 20 years, Katie Noonan has proven herself one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile, and prolific artists. Named one of the greatest Australian singers of all time by the Herald Sun, Katie has produced 20 studio albums throughout her career, with seven times platinum record sales under her belt and 26 ARIA award nominations that span diverse genres. 

In the midst of owning her record company and working as the artistic director of Queensland Music Festival, Katie remains committed to what sets her artistry apart from the pack: her ability to evolve. “There’s always going to be something to learn or someone who can teach you something,” she explains. Music, for Katie, is a lifelong lesson, a generous act of giving, and a means to change the world.  

Katie Noonan's latest performance Songs of Don is on at The Headland at Barangaroo Reserve on 14 January 2021. For bookings and more info: https://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/events/songs-don
