Karen Knowles set to delight audiences once againKaren Knowles, the well known and successful Australian singing star, will be delighting audiences once again with her forthcoming live stage performance at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre at 11am on Wednesday 19 April. By Latrobe City Council - 6th April 2006 - Back to News Ms Knowles, an award winning and very much loved performer, has staged her popular live shows many times at the Performing Arts Centre, and this upcoming performance promises to thrill audiences once more.
Latrobe City’s performing arts and venues coordinator, Kathleen Roberts, said that audiences will be very pleased to once again welcome Karen back to perform live on stage in Latrobe.
"We are expecting a full house. Karen’s extensive and successful career as a performer, producer and director of her own entertainment company, now spans over twenty-five years, and her professionalism and experience is evident in every performance." Ms Roberts said.
Karen Knowles’ performance career began with the award winning television program Young Talent Time where she quickly achieved national recognition. Success was swift - Karen soon made history by becoming the first Australian schoolgirl to notch up a gold record, and from then her career grew with many award winning recordings and concert performances.
Apart from joining ‘The Seekers’ touring nationally and internationally in 1990, Karen has written and performed many musical compositions while also recording and producing. She spent a period in London writing new material and honing her talents.
In 2000 Karen recorded and released her popular album ‘By Request’ which features many of the most requested songs at her live performances.
As a performer and interviewee she has appeared consistently on all leading television programs on all national television networks, acted as a presenter, a regular judge on Network Ten’s popular series New Faces, and still maintained her solo career.
Ms Roberts added that 2006 promises to be an exciting year for Karen as she continues with her extensive live performance schedule running parallel to her recording career. "Karen is working on the development of new material in collaboration with some of Australia’s most notable musicians for a new studio recording." Ms Roberts revealed.
