Harrogate pupil lands solo in national tour of The Snowman

Harrogate pupil Charlotte will perform at York Barbican this Christmas.

A Harrogate pupil will sing 'Walking in the Air' with a live orchestra at York Barbican this Christmas.

Charlotte, who attends Duchy College Prep, won the solo after auditioning for the national concert tour.

She will perform as the orchestra accompanies a screening of the classic 1982 film The Snowman.

Charlotte said:

“When I found out that I’d got the part, I was really, really shocked.

“I thought I’d just give it a go for the experience, so finding out I’d been successful was amazing.”

Charlotte has played leading roles in school nativities and takes part in performing arts both in lessons and outside the classroom.

She said:

“There’s always a chance to do something, and if you get the opportunity to do something big, the school will always support you.

“That support makes you feel more confident and willing to give things a go.”

James Savile, Head of Duchy College Prep, said:

“This is an incredible achievement. Charlotte is an outstanding member of our community and we are exceptionally proud of her.”

The tour will visit 13 other venues across the country, with performances in Birmingham and Liverpool as well as at Durham Cathedral.
