With a voice spun from audible luminescence, Katie Noonan collaborates for the first time with internationally renowned poet of the guitar, Karin Schaupp. Noonan has an impressive 3 ARIA awards and 6 x platinum album sales to her
name while Schaupp’s career has taken her around the globe, performing as a soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, appearing on international television, and as a member of ARIA award winning guitar supergroup Saffire.
After years of crossing paths, these two leading female artists are looking forward to finally sharing the stage together:
“For years we’ve been saying ‘We must do something together one day…’ and finally we found the time to make it happen! I am delighted to be collaborating with Katie – her voice is absolutely unique and she is a brilliant musician.
The combination of voice and guitar is very intimate but also very versatile. We’ve had a wonderful time putting together this British programme drawn from so many different styles of music, and we’ve become great friends in the process!” – Karin Schaupp
“The voice and the guitar have made beautiful music together for centuries and I am very excited to be collaborating with one of the most beautiful classical guitarists I have heard – Karin Schaupp. This concert will be a chance for me to rediscover the Celtic music I grew up around, the classical music I fell in love with when I discovered singing as a child, and the pop music that has informed my voice as a songwriter in more recent years. The British Isles are blessed with such a rich history of wonderful music making and I am looking forward to sharing some of it with Karin and our audiences! Karin and I will also be travelling with our children so we can swap mummy tips while our children play together!” – Katie Noonan
Noonan and Schaupp will present an intimate selection of some of the most beautiful songs from the British Isles; from Dowland, Vaughan-Williams and Britten, to Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and traditional Celtic folk tunes.
Both virtuosos on their respective instruments, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Audiences will be drawn in by the sublime dialogue of these two masterful musicians.
