Experience a lively pop-up music show at Burpengary Library.

Featuring global sounds, professional musicians and a hands-on kazoo workshop, there is something for everyone.

These pop-ups are a fun and creative way to explore music and connect with your community.

The event features 3 performers.

Listen to the melodic sounds of the ukulele and guitar as Pasifika Families play upbeat Polynesian sounds.

Kellee Green, an award-winning performer, educator, jazz-pianist and composer, will play the People’s Keyboard, treating listeners to a solo performance at which you can request your favourite songs via a QR code.

The pop-up also includes a kazoo workshop with Danslands. He will teach you a simple medley of Bee Gees songs. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring their own kazoo. There will be several free kazoos available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Put your new skills into practise and join us on 21 June for a public flash mob. Performing with your kazoo at Bee Gees way, this high‑energy event will turn the laneway into a vibrant pop‑up stage.

About the performers

Pasifika Families

The Pasifika Families Music Duo creates inclusive, uplifting music workshops that support mental wellbeing through connection, creativity and culture. Using the ukulele as a gentle and accessible instrument, the duo fosters safe, welcoming spaces where participants can slow down, express themselves and feel a sense of belonging.

Grounded in Pacific Island values of family, community and collective care, each workshop is designed to strengthen emotional wellbeing by reducing isolation, building confidence and encouraging positive social interaction. Music is used as a wellbeing tool—supporting emotional regulation, mindfulness and joy—rather than performance or perfection. Participants are invited to engage at their own pace, making the experience accessible for all ages and abilities.

The duo has extensive experience working with Pasifika Families and multicultural communities, delivering trauma-informed, strengths-based programs that honour lived experience and cultural identity. Sessions often bring together children, parents and elders, supporting intergenerational connection and shared moments of calm and play.

Through simple songs, rhythm and storytelling, the Pasifika Families Music Duo nurtures resilience, cultural pride and mental wellbeing—creating spaces where community can breathe, connect and heal together through music.
