Parents, grandparents, friends and family gathered at Farrarmere Primary School on Saturday (June 30) to watch their children perform in the Music Stars 2018 concert, hosted by Duerell’s School of Music.
The concert is held to showcase the students’ talent and achievements.
“The aim is to improve their confidence and stage presence,” said Duerell de Pontes, founder of the music school.
