What I've Learnt - Kate Ceberano

Revered Melbourne artist Kate Ceberano’s ruby anniversary finds her at the dawn of a new era. Kates 30th album, My Life Is A Symphony, released this month is a breathtaking celebration of her songwriting, featuring her most iconic songs, Brave and Pash, and personal favorites from across her four-decade recording career, reimagined with Kate at a new peak of command amid the grandeur of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.Unfolding on orchestral stages nationally, the epic musical setting is an apt reflection of an assured rise to the pinnacles of rock, pop, soul and jazz. Kate’s 11 platinum albums, 10 Top 10 singles and countless awards speak for themselves. But it's over 8000 performances on every concert, theatre and festival stage in the country and beyond that her unassailable distinction was forged.Her new album is a perfect title capturing her passion and her essence as the quintessential queen of Australian music. It aligns with her live tour with the Melb Symphony Orchestra and other feature dates many of which are already sold out  Kate is quite simply, one of the country’s most celebrated voices and songwriters. A force of nature and huge personality! I remember first meeting this beautiful talented hilarious woman back the 80s when she was playing in the main room and I was performing in the piano bar at the renowned “Underground” nightclub then owned by Tottie Goldsmiths father Brian. It was a blast and she was always a standout. We often joke we’ve had parallel lives in some way .. I went onto be a journalist for the Melbourne Age with Kate being one of my first cover stories with a huge double page spread I actually had framed I was so thrilled.Meanwhile Kate toured the country and sang her heart heart and 40 years later she’s still doing what she does best!She was always warm, and creative and we have fond memories of those wonderful years in Melbournes Kings St nightclub district then a hub for so many young inspiring talented artists like Kate and Jon Stevens both of whom went on to star in the stunning production of Jesus Christ Superstar with the legendary John Farnham -I think I saw it 5 times.Her famous rendition of “I don’t know how to love him “ still makes me cry ..So I’m very excited to have her join me on the what I’ve learnt podcast Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850
