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

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

This pop-up is a fun and creative way to explore music and connect with your community.

The event features 3 performers.

Iranian-born artist and musician Naz Masoudi will present an engaging solo inspired by her culture.

Shugorei will play the People’s Marimba, showcasing the unique sound of this instrument. After the performance, you can come and try the instrument yourself.

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.
