The event was organised by the Rotary Club of Griffith, and rotarian Brian Sainty said an event like this was sorely needed to lift people's spirits in the midst of the crippling drought.
"Due to the mental stress caused by the drought, we feel it proper to donate the proceeds of the concert to charities helping to alleviate that stress, Mr Sainty said.
"Another way to relieve stress and depression is music and song. This is not just our opinion, but a proven fact."
On the night the Griffith Tongan choir will be performing some classic Tongan hymns in addition to some of the more contemporary English songs the choir has been learning.
