Year 13 student, Arieanne Masters, has been accepted into the BBC Proms Youth Choir Academy and will be performing in London on Saturday 21 July.
As part of its commitment to nurturing new talent, the BBC founded the BBC Proms Youth Choir in 2012. This multi-year project was designed to bring together the best young singers from across the UK and create a massed youth choir with opportunities to perform at the highest level with professional symphony orchestras at the BBC Proms.
Arrieanne said: "This year we are performing a movement from Beethoven and another secret composition. I am in the Soprano section and will be joining a group of 150 soprano singers in London at the Royal Albert Hall. I will be learning how to sing in choral arrangements as well as developing my singing skills in classical music.
Residency at Gateshead starts in July and the choir I am in will be joining 200 members of youth choirs from all over the UK to form the Proms Youth Choir."
Well done Arieanne!
