Following the success of its first Wonderland on the Murray concerts in January, the Cedar Collective is returning to the Port of Echuca.
Set among the sculptures, violinists Jessica Leigh and Sara Barbagallo, violist Edmund Mantelli and cellist Sarah Wang will guide you through a vibrant, one-hour musical adventure where beloved songs are reimagined for string quartet.
Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell encouraged locals and visitors to make the most of this magical event as the program draws to a close.
“The Cedar Collective string quartet will bring something special to these final days of the event, and it’s one of the last chances to enjoy the activations before they wrap up,” he said.
“The concerts also form part of council’s International Women’s Day celebrations, highlighting and supporting the incredible contributions of women in the arts.”
Bring chairs and picnic blankets to the Port of Echuca pop-up park from 6pm to 7pm, and 8pm to 9pm, to watch the act for free.
