Eleanor has enjoyed great musical success in recent months. Last summer she played double bass with the Barbican Youth Orchestra as part of the City of London Festival. In October she was one of eight shortlisted finalists for the BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year competition, and sang at St Paul’s Cathedral. On New Year’s Eve, she represented the UK in a global initiative organised by UNICEF, performing John Lennon’s Imagine on a white piano overlooking the Houses of Parliament as crowds gathered by the Thames.
