Miller-Heidke will perform in a special outdoor concert at Feathertop Winery's private estate under Mount Buffalo on Saturday, February 16.
Miller-Heidke effortlessly traverses the genres of contemporary pop, folk and opera.
Although classically trained, she has followed a career in alternative pop music.
She was signed to Sony Australia, Epic in the US and RCA in Britain, but is now an independent artist.
Miller-Heidke completed a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Voice from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music followed by a Master of Music degree at Queensland University of Technology.
As a classical singer, she has won many awards including the Elizabeth Muir Prize (2000), the Donald Penman Prize (2001), the Linda Edith Allen Memorial Prize (2002) and the Horace Keats Prize (2002).
In July 2005 she made her solo professional operatic debut with Opera Queensland in Britten's The Turn of the Screw.
In June 2004, Miller-Heidke independently recorded and distributed her first EP, Telegram, a collection of songs written by herself (except for two songs written by her creative collaborator and husband, Keir Nuttall).
Miller-Heidke co-wrote the music and lyrics for the musical Muriel's Wedding, which was premiered by the Sydney Theatre Company in November 2017.
Together with Nuttall, she wrote the music for the songs in Simon Phillips' 2018 production of Twelfth Night for the Melbourne Theatre Company.
Earlier this year, Miller-Heidke was listed as one of the 10 candidates to represent Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song Zero Gravity.
On February 16, Adam Lindsay and Danielle Murgida will perform at Feathertop Winery between 4pm and 5.30pm with Miller-Heidke on stage from 6pm to 7.30pm.
