TALENTED young Droitwich musicians have been invited to perform at Symphony Hall in Birmingham in front of a 2,000 sell-out audience.

The Yamaha Music Schools Festival Showcase will be held on Sunday, June 3.

The pupils from the school will form an ensemble with students from Redditch, Codsall, Dorridge, Stourbridge and Walsall to perform Maple Leaf Rag.

The pupils were selected to perform after being nominated by their teachers for showing outstanding musical merit.

The prestigious annual event showcases the talent of the nation's best young keyboard players and aims to provide up-and-coming musicians with an opportunity to develop their skills by performing with other musicians.

Around 20 groups of more than 200 players from all over Britain will be taking part, performing a wide range of musical styles from classical through to the latest film themes and pop songs.

Before the event, Symphony Hall will be open to the public for Play Yamaha Day, a free, fun-packed event where all the family can try out the latest instruments, talk to the experts and enjoy demonstrations.
