Overview
The String Family journey began in 2016 when the group decided to hit the road to tour fulltime. They toured Australia extensively for three years, performing at festivals, schools, private parties, corporate events, concerts, busking and more. In 2019 The String Family were offered a residency at Paronella Park in Far North QLD, where they performed 520 shows in 6 months to huge critical acclaim.
The Dream, Paronella Park
In 2019, the String Family created a wonderful show based on Paronella Park’s history. Written, arranged and choreographed by Sarah and performed with synchronised lighting designed by Joel, the show was performed live by the group 520 times in 6 months. Paronella Park still play recordings of the show and Joel’s light show with the nightly light up of the lower refreshment rooms.
