You are warmly invited to join us for a night of music presented by Gold Coast singer/songwriter Kate Leopold, who is delighted to be returning to Cairns to play in her hometown. Soul Songs: In the Round is a collaborative concert bringing together inspiring singer/songwriters who will share the stage for a night of music to warm the heart & nourish the soul.The night will feature a selection of heart based, local musicians, who write songs that inspire, empower, heal and elevate their audience. The concept of 'in the round' sees all artists on stage together, each contributing a song (or three), with other artists complementing the song in an organic co-creation - a collective weaving of sorts. The format encourages camaraderie and storytelling among performers where the audience gets a glimpse into the songs and the songwriters themselves.

Her live performances are immersive journeys through the highs and lows of the human emotional landscape, guided by soul-stirring vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and bright acoustic melodies. Through her unique fusion of art and activism, Kate holds space for reflection, community, and reconnection—to self, to nature, and to each other.
