THE South East Primary Schools Music Festival finishes tonight with a concert bringing together children from across the Limestone Coast.

The four-day festival began on Tuesday night, showcasing everything from choral melodies to acting, solos and instrumental ensembles.

For its 31st year, the series of concerts incorporates more than 600 Year 5 to 7 students from 25 schools across the South East.

Ranging from Kingston to Bordertown, Mount Gambier and Allendale East, the showcase was previously held annually at the Millicent Civic and Arts Centre before relocating to the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre a few years ago.

With a live orchestra and dance troupe, the show allows audiences and participants to be part of a high-quality performance.

The final show starts tonight at 7.30pm.
