The concert, featuring the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music's BlueScope Youth Orchestra, will include a variety of music like popular movie soundtracks (Harry Potter, James Bond), traditional marches, big band music and "reflective pieces".
Money from the fundraiser will help initiatives like The First Floor Program a holistic, community-based drug and alcohol service supporting families and individuals in their recovery from substance use, mental health issues, grief, and loss; as well as the Carinya Women and Children Service which provides crisis accommodation for women and children of the Illawarra.
"This concert is a true celebration of how the business and general community can come together to support such a worthy cause, as well as providing the community with a quality musical experience," said WollCon's CEO David Francis.
The concert begins at 6.30pm, Saturday May 14, at the Wollongong Salvation Army, 11-13 Burelli St Wollongong, with tickets ($5-$15) available at the door.
