Kate Ceberano: Unsung

Singer, songwriter, performer and artist Kate Ceberano celebrated one of the most enduring and inspirational careers in Australian music with the release of her 30th album in 2023. The album My Life is a Symphony, a collaboration with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, went straight to the top of the charts. Over four decades, she’s notched up an incredible 10 Top 10 albums, 11 Platinum and 8 Gold status, 15 Top 40 singles, 3 Countdown awards, 4 ARIA awards and over 6000 live performances.

Kate's jaw-dropping voice first came to national attention with her band I’m Talking. Their debut album is enshrined among Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Australian Albums of All Time. Career highlights include her record-breaking run with John Farnham in Jesus Christ Superstar, her triple platinum debut solo pop album Brave, and her 2014 induction into the Australian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. Kate is a musical force, an electrifying live performer and one of the greatest voices of her generation.
