'Musical delight' at Pearl Beach

Pearl Beach Memorial Hall will host "a musical delight" with 20 junior and senior musicians from the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music and the community performing in two concerts on May 26 and 27.

Under the direction of Conservatorium of Music chief, Mr Patrick Brennan, the students will have the opportunity to step outside the practice room and present musical works to the community.

'It's all about inspiring the kids and giving them an opportunity to express themselves,' Mr Brennan said.

The Pearl Beach Junior Showcase concert will be held on Saturday, May 26, at 2pm.

The second concert on Sunday, May 27, at 2pm is a scholarship competition for high-calibre high school students.

Students competing in the Pearl Beach Scholar Music Scholarship competition will perform two contrasting pieces and the winner will receive $1000.

There is also a People's Choice Award of $250 which audience members can vote for on the day.

Last year's scholarship winner, guitarist Min Ahn, will perform during the adjudication of the scholarship and the winner of the Irvine Family Piano Scholarship, Kimberly Gilbert, will be acknowledged.

Both concerts are open to the public.

Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door.
