A ten-year-old pianist recently took part in a London concert.
Laura Race, a pupil at St Margaret's CE Primary School, Durham, took part in a competition with the European Piano Teachers' Association.
After winning her heat in Newcastle, she went through to a regional finals in Leeds last month.
She was then one of a handful of musicians selected to play in the concert at the Warehouse, near Waterloo.
It is the second time Laura, who has been learning to play the piano for about two years, has been selected for the London concert.
