Plymouth College pupil, Harriet Benson, has gained a place in the National Children's Orchestra GB. Still only 12 years old, Harriet has been chosen for the main orchestra, which is exceptional - she has previously been involved in the orchestra at lower levels for the last seven years.
With residential courses during the Easter and Summer holidays, Harriet will take part in a number of concerts including one to celebrate the orchestra's 30th anniversary. She will also be travelling to Italy to play in a concert being held at Sir William Walton's estate on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples.
Harriet is working towards Grade 8 Violin and Grade 8 Viola, and also plays the piano.
"I am really pleased to have been selected for the orchestra again", said Harriet. "I have always enjoyed taking part in the courses and concerts but I am particularly excited about this year because of the concert in Italy at the end of the summer."
