Joshua Aldinckle-Povey and Alisha-angel Ponsonby, both eight-years-old, took part in the violin solo eight to nine years category and both received Merits.

“They all practice extremely hard and many also attend The Woolmer Music Group Junior String ensemble on Wednesdays so they are extremely dedicated”.
