"Out of the 12 performers, 11 are school-aged students, with the youngest 13 years old. Their music is of a very high standard and will wow the audience."

The night concert starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost $15 at the door and include supper.

Ms Harris said the evening concert was more formal.

"It will be quite a spectacle to look at and will run like a professional production."
