Island Music School is holding its first winter concert Friday, Dec.15, from 6 to 8:45 p.m. at the Murray Nelson Government Center, 102050 Overseas Highway in Key Largo.
This event will showcase the musical talents of local students ranging from kindergarten to high school. The winter concert will feature a repertoire spanning generations, including hits from artists such as the Beatles, Queen, David Bowie, Jerry Garcia, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift, Tears for Fears, AC/DC and more.
Students will be singing and performing on a variety of instruments such as piano, ukulele, guitar, bass, acoustic drums and percussion. The concert is a culmination of the hard work and dedication of Island Music School’s students, who have been practicing and honing their musical skills. Island Music School opened in August.
“We are excited to showcase the talent of our students. We are so proud of what they have accomplished since starting our program in the fall,” said Luke Ptomey, owner and principal instructor of Island Music School. “The concert will be a celebration of musical diversity, featuring a range of genres and styles that will resonate with audience members of all ages.”
Admission to the concert is free but donations are encouraged to help create a student scholarship fund. There will be snacks and drinks for donation and a 50/50 cash raffle to raise student scholarship funds. About 10% of students who attended Island Music School’s programs this fall had a partial or full scholarship.
Beverages are available for purchase and funds will go towards Friends of the Key Largo Cultural Center nonprofit organization that has helped schedule the event.
