Melbourne—Community Performance

Community Performance (Meredith, photo one)
Community Performance (Meredith, photo two)

Every term in the Suzuki guitar studio of Meredith Connie we go out into the community and share some music at venues across Melbourne. In June 2019 we performed on the outdoor stage at CERES Community Environment Park, an educational park teaching young people how to look after the natural world for future generations.

Have a great picture to share? We are looking for photos of students performing in their community. Did you invite the neighborhood to a book recital? Or the general public to a group concert? Have you played in an assisted living facility, street fair, or mall? Submit your own picture or ???
