Meet the Music 1 featuring Kate Miller-Heidke
Students in Years 11 and 12 attended the first of four concerts at the Sydney Opera House last Thursday. This series of concerts features three Australian female vocalists, Kate Miller-Heidke, Megan Washington and Katie Noonan along with the cartoonist, Michael Leunig in concert with the SSO.
Kate Miller-Heidke was the artist featured in the first concert which was conducted by Benjamin Northey and also featured Keir Nuttall on guitar. Kate is classically trained, however her style crosses many genres including contemporary pop, folk and opera. Her songs are stamped with witty humour and poignant insight. In her first collaboration with the SSO, she performed her most popular hits, favourites from recent albums, songs from The Rabbits, covers and some brand new songs, including Last Day on Earth, O Vertigo!, Sarah, and highlights from The Rabbits.
