Violinist Rebecca Daniel will perform alongside pianist and vocalist Fiona Joy Hawkins at the Kendall Community Centre from 7pm until 9.30pm.
Fiona said she believes a permanent gallery at Kew will showcase local talent, and provide opportunities to contribute to the cultural and educational development of the region.
"Kew Arts Co-Op will become a community owned and run gallery," she said.
"It will be something for us all to be proud of.
"We have some hidden gems within our community and it's time to celebrate and support these artists."
Rebecca and Fiona Joy have collaborated writing, performing and recording for over a decade.
They performed at the Sydney Opera House for the 2012 MusicOz Awards and were invited to New Orleans to perform at the 2014 ZMR Awards.
Rebecca was recently concertmaster for a new opera by Rowen Fox at the Sydney Conservatorium and has performed many concerts in the Blue Mountains with the Kedumba String Quartet.
In 2018 Fiona Joy played at New York's Carnegie Hall (Weill Hall) and in the New Orleans Jazz Museum as well as accompanying Deepak Chopra.
Tickets to the concert are $25 and can be purchased online or through the Q Pop Up Art Gallery at 148 Nancy Bird Walton Drive, Kew.
