The musical director said the May 9 concert at Wollongong Art Gallery was special as it would feature Australian folk-rock singer Rebecca Moore.

"It has been my hope as the musical director to try and bring together musicians of various styles to maybe create something that has not yet been heard before," Little said.

"Rebecca is an award-winning songwriter and performer who will be performing several of her songs off her new album, Return, in our concert.

"Composer and arranger John Spence has also donated his time to arrange music for the string orchestra that complements Rebecca's songs."

Steel City Strings is an Illawarra-based string orchestra of professional and amateur musicians from the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region.

"The vision of our orchestra is to bring quality music to the Illawarra and Shoalhaven area and feature Australian composers and artists," Little said.

Saturday's concert starts at 7pm and features works by Respighi, Piazzolla, Borodin, Brahms and Australian composer (and member of the orchestra) Michael Barkl.

Steel City Strings' talented cellists Karella Mitchell and Ilir Merxhushi will play the Vivaldi Two Cello Concerto in G minor.

"This concert features everything from folk/rock to tangos and classical," Little said.
