Alice’s lively fanfare was performed by Fantasia Orchestra and Dame Evelyn Glennie at the first Proms evening concert on Saturday 21st June.

The judges also want to acknowledge the work of Chapman Shum, age 14 from Linden Lodge School, whose composition will be performed as an encore. They were impressed with his ideas and musicianship, especially considering he is visually impaired.
