Young musicians from Geelong and abroad will “Thrill and Chill’ with creepy classics tonight, following a week-long music camp.
Camp secretary Michael Wilding said the ghoulish showcase would include scary soundtracks like Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the Addams Family Theme.
“Because the concert has landed on Friday the 13th we’ve gone in a horror direction.”
The show will feature a symphony orchestra, two concert bands, two string orchestras and a stage band.
It’s “massive” finale will see each of the camp’s 230 students – aged nine to 21 – performing on stage at once.
The students, some from as a far as New Zealand, have been fine-tuning their art at the 37th Geelong Summer Music Camp this week.
They immersed themselves in music and electives like “film music composing” and “school of rock” under the guidance of experienced local conductors and tutors.
“It’s a big social thing for them as well,” Mr Wilding said.
“A lot of them have friends they met here that they come back and see every year.”
Music that Thrills and Chills begins in Deakin’s Costa Hall at 7pm tonight. To find out more phone 0411 432 155.
