Yarra Valley ECOSS will host the Stringmania Camp finale concert.
The event will feature musical talent from Scotland, the USA, Canada, China and Sweden as well as Australia.
Stringmania is a week-long music camp held in Warburton, now in its third year, where stringed instrument players can explore musical genres with high-calibre tutors from Australia and around the world.
This concert is the culmination of the camp, featuring world-class performances from tutors, showcasing what participants have learned during the week, and supporting the Warburton Fire Brigade through donating part of proceeds.
“I’m really excited to be bringing such incredibly talented and culturally significant artists from around the world together in Warburton for this camp,” camp co-director Chris Stone said.
“I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share these musicians with the local community.
“It also gives the camp attendees the opportunity to perform and share some of the music they’ve learnt, and also the energy and passion that flows through this camp.
“I love the buzz that an end-of-camp concert like this creates – everyone’s so musically, emotionally and creatively charged!”
The concert will feature Scottish fiddle legend Alasdair Fraser and acclaimed cellist Natalie Haas (US), along with Victoria’s own Kavisha Mazzella (song), Greg Sheehan (rhythm) and Emily-Rose Sarkova (tango).
Warburton fiddle player Sandi Blake said last year’s Stringmania Camp was so uplifting and nurturing.
“To have such an amazing group of enthusiastic people from all over the world coming to our little town Warburton to create such beautiful music within a week is an outstanding achievement,” she said.
