The Gerringong Music Club is thrilled to announce its upcoming interactive kids concert featuring SONIDO, a dynamic musical group blending Latin American heritage with the sounds of modern multicultural Australia.

SONIDO, featured in Musica Viva’s acclaimed show El Camino, will invite young audiences on a musical journey through Latin America using instruments like the charango, quena, zampoña, bombo, and guitar.

Their vibrant, rhythmic show blends storytelling, song and movement, offering a unique opportunity for kids to sing, dance, and learn about musical traditions from another part of the world.

This will be the second kids concert hosted by the Gerringong Music Club in recent times.

Last year’s family event was a great success, with more than 200 children and parents in attendance, showing a strong appetite for high-quality, accessible music programming for younger audiences in the region.

“We’re excited to welcome SONIDO to Gerringong,” said Imogen Stewart, Musical Director of the Gerringong Music Club.

“Following the huge success of last year’s kids concert, we’re delighted to offer another opportunity for local families to enjoy live music together.

“This year we wanted to give Gerringong a taste of something completely different.

"An amplified educational show that will take you on a journey through South America.

"Music has an extraordinary impact on children’s development - it helps build confidence, supports learning and memory, and fosters creativity and connection.

"Experiences like these stay with children for life, and we’re proud to help make that happen here in Gerringong.”

Thanks to the generous support of Kiama Municipal Council’s Cultural Grants program, this year’s event has expanded to two sessions tailored to different age groups.

The core musical material is the same and families are welcome to attend either concert, however each session is crafted slightly differently to engage the developmental stage and curiosity of the following age groups:
