Katie Noonan and the ACO, SOH Concert Hall - Sunday March 16th 2008
Well what an afternoon of fine music. The Australian Chamber Orchestra teamed up with Katie Noonan for their national "Sublime" tour. The music was truly sublime as Katie performed with the Orchestra's first half of classical pieces while the second half was dedicated to contemporary covers.
The covers ranged from Sting to Radiohead and from The Beatles to Amy Winehouse. Some strange off beat album track choices however her voice is so magic that anything coming out of her mouth would sound sweet. I think even a cover of Dennis Leary's past hit "Asshole" would even sound sublime coming out of her mouth.
The crowd loved her and her wonderful two costumes and pumps she could have quiet easily broke her neck in.
The highlight for me was the Sting cover "A Thousand Years".
Overall she is a true Aussie Diva and definitely one of Australia's best voices, next to Mr G.
Total of five out of five, for the Australian Orchestra appealing to the very hard to please youth of today and for Katie a sublime songbird who I have loved ever since I heard "Spawn" on JJJ, many a year ago.
