Their collaborations to date have earned them an ARIA Award and widespread praise. Their latest co-creation, Songs of the Southern Skies Volume 2, once again promises to enchant national audiences.

Together, they return to their acclaimed Southern Skies catalogue, reinterpreting some of their favourite songs by antipodean artists - this time focusing on some of our finest female artists and 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 make 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 sound that is truly unique and a performance that is nothing short of spellbinding.

“Katie Noonan has a voice like warm honey being decanted into melting snow. It is such a thing of beauty that finding a vessel to hold it can be difficult. Happily, in the music of acclaimed German-born classical guitarist Karin Schaupp, Noonan has found the perfect companion"
