On Sunday August 18, the Gerringong Music Club will host an interactive superhero-themed concert especially for children at the Gerringong Town Hall.

The event is designed by Clear Strings, a professional string quartet, and it will include melodies of Superman and Wonder Woman as well as popular TV songs and hits by artists like Billie Eilish. It will feature violins, a viola, a cello and a double bass.

It was inspired by an intensive music education program which was conducted by the Australian Chamber Orchestra in Sydney which resulted in huge improvements in learning, development, behaviour and attendance.

Music Director of Clear Strings, Renae Zink, says, “It has been proven that interactive musical experiences at a young age can foster a life-long love of music. The importance of exposing children to engaging and exciting musical experiences cannot be emphasised.”

Musical Director of the Gerringong Music Club Imogen Stewart says, "We are excited to present our first concert designed with children in mind. We’re learning more about how important music is for well-rounded child development, helping kids feel, think and move better and are committed to bringing those experiences to Gerringong for our kids to enjoy.”

The event is sponsored by the Gerringong Branch of Bendigo Bank provided through its Community Grant Scheme.

The event starts at 2pm on 18 August, doors open at 1:30pm. Book your tickets online at www.gerringongmusicclub.com.au. Members, children and students are free. Visitors $30.
