Revered Australian talent Katie Noonan and her jazz trio Elixir will perform songs from their new album, Gratitude and Grief, a collaboration with North East-based poet and cartoonist Michael Leunig. Released this year, Gratitude and Grief first premiered at the Sydney Opera House in November 2016. The music showcases poetry, angelic vocals and sublime improvisation. Violet Town-based Leunig has explored political, cultural and emotional issues for more than 35 years. He was made one of Australia's Living Treasures by the National Trust of Australia in 1999.
