Guests will be treated to exceptional LIVE entertainment throughout the evening, featuring two outstanding acts who will bring elegance, energy, and atmosphere to the 2026 Gala.

Renowned as the Gold Coast's premier string ensemble, Estrella Strings will deliver a stunning fusion of classical sophistication and contemporary flair. From elegant string arrangements to modern pop interpretations and electric violin, their performances create a refined and captivating ambience - the perfect soundtrack for a black-tie evening of celebration and purpose.

Bringing style, warmth, and a whole lot of groove, Smooth & Sassy are a dynamic Gold Coast duo known for their polished, crowd-pleasing performances. With Jenny on lead vocals and percussion and Tyrone on vocals and guitar, they deliver a rich, full sound that spans decades - from 1950s jazz and rock 'n' roll through to today's Top 20 hits. Whether setting the mood or filling the dance floor, their experience and versatility ensure an unforgettable live music experience.
