Kate Ceberano To Release Album With Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Kate Ceberano’s next record will feature her biggest ever backing band. That’s right, it doesn’t get bigger than the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

May 12 will see in the release of Kate Ceberano ‘My Life Is A Symphony’.

Kate says, “This album was conceived and the orchestra recorded in the last months before the Covid “blackout”! After several years of waiting to complete it, when I finally got to return to the project and record the vocals it was a very emotional experience for me…back in a studio where i had recorded Brave 35 years before – and with my daughter now singing BV’s. I never wanted to take any thing for granted again. I was more committed, bolder, and more willing to back my stories and songwriting. The power of the orchestra, the arrangements by my talented friend Roscoe have given new life to songs that together we cherrypicked from my albums over the years. Songs that are meaningful to me, earmarking personal memories and travelling with me across 4 decades.”

The tracklisting:

1. Brave
2. Earth & Sky
3. Time to Think
4. Pash
5. Courage
6. Louis’ Song
7. Sympathy
8. Sunburn
9. Cherry Blossom Lipstick
10. Champion

Kate will also perform one show with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer Hall in Melbourne in 27 May. Shows for other states with an orchestra will be announced soon.
