A YOUNG Darlington musician has won the chance to perform in concert alongside Julian Lloyd Webber this weekend.
Cellist Harriet Bradshaw, 12, a pupil at Polam Hall School, auditioned alongside 16 others to become one of six accepted for the musical extravaganza taking place at the Tees Barrage tomorrow.
Harriet, from the Hummersknott area of Darlington, was the youngest person to audition and secured a place as an understudy, getting the chance to play in front of Lloyd Webber, one of the world's leading cellists, at the rehearsals.
She said: "I saw the audition advertised in the local paper and sent my CV of achievements through to apply.
"I am really pleased to have won a place as an understudy and if I am lucky I will get to play on the evening."
Harriet has previously performed in the Darlington Festival and is also a member of Polam Hall School Orchestra and South Durham Regional Orchestra.
