My Life Is a Symphony is the eighteenth studio and thirtieth career album by Australian singer, Kate Ceberano. The album features new versions of Ceberano's song, from the four decade career and is a collaboration with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.[3] The album was announced in February 2023 and released on 12 May 2023.[4] It peaked at number 6 on the ARIA charts.
About the album, Ceberano said "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 backing vocals. I never wanted to take anything 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."[4]
At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album.[5]
At the AIR Awards of 2024, the album was nominated for Best Independent Pop Album or EP.[6]
