Kyle Little has got his wish and a variety of musical styles will hit the stage at Steel City Strings' latest Wollongong gig this Saturday night.

The musical director said the May 9 concert at Wollongong Art Gallery was special as it would feature Australian folk-rock singer Rebecca Moore.

"It has been my hope as the musical director to try and bring together musicians of various styles to maybe create something that has not yet been heard before," Little said.

"Rebecca is an award-winning song writer and performer who will be performing several of her songs off her new album Return.

"Composer and arranger John Spence has also donated his time to arrange music for the string orchestra that complements Rebecca's songs."

Little said Steel City Strings was an Illawarra-based string orchestra made up of musicians from the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region.

Members comprised both professional and talented amateur players who donated their time for a variety of concerts around the Illawarra and South Coast.

This orchestra was revived last year (from a previous Steel City Strings in 2002), in a concert at the Wollongong Art Gallery in October, 2014.

"The vision of our orchestra is to bring quality music to the Illawarra and Shoalhaven area and feature Australian composers and artists," Little said.

He added that Saturday's concert starts at 7pm and features works by Respighi, Piazzolla, Borodin, Brahms and Australian composer (and member of the orchestra) Michael Barkl.

Steel City Strings' talented cellists Karella Mitchell and Ilir Merxhushi will also play the Vivaldi Two Cello Concerto in G minor.

"This concert features everything from folk/rock to tangos and classical. It is a once-in-a-lifetime concert event that should not be missed," Little said.

Tickets cost $25/$20 and can be purchased at the door or online at trybooking.com/HIBM.
