Only a few days to go now for the All-star event ‘Tribute at the Ellington’ – Date: This Monday, 11th April, Time: 7pm for a 7.30pm start, Venue – The Ellington Jazz Club – 191 Beaufort St, Perth Tickets – $10 Bar Admission, $15 Table admission – an all ages event so bring the whole family – great sounds, great food and drink and a great atmosphere…

Get your tickets from the Ellington Jazz Club at http://www.ellingtonjazz.com.au/index.php/schedule/month/04/show/1251

The event is a part of the real gigs schedule we have for our 6 Allstar bands and it will be great to see for all MRA participants what is achievable at the elite end of the Music Rocks programs… These events are always themed and the first MRA event’s theme is Tribute – paying homage to those no longer with us but who have inspired us… The event synopsis is below

Six ‘All-star’ ensembles comprising of the best young musicians ‘hand-picked’ from a pool of more than four hundred metropolitan Music Rocks Ensemble Participants will hit the stage to perform a tribute to those Rock Legends no longer with us. Selected repertoire from artists such as Queen, INXS, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, the Doors and Led Zeppelin pay homage to those that have inspired us. A commentary and tribute to each artist will be a part of this unique show.

The performance will demonstrate the remarkable and rapid musical and social results attainable within the Music Rocks Australia Ensemble Teaching System – a system now recognized as achieving the most amazing musical results in Australia. All the hard work by our young musicians involved in mastering some challenging musical material within one school term will culminate in this fantastic night of music for MRA All-stars. Musical gear supplied by Kosmic Sound will also be a feature.

The Ellington Jazz Club performance will be the first Music Rocks Australia (MRA) performance for 2011.

The emotion driven show is intended not only for family, friends and colleagues of the Music Rocks Australia All-stars but for non-All-star participants with their families and the general public. Seeing what is possible at the elite end of the MRA ensemble framework and meeting other young musicians will be a great experience for all young musicians.ellington flash
