Four talented youngsters from Burgess Hill School for Girls will make sweet music in the final of a national competition.
Poppea Daniel, her sister Agnes, Tania Beard and Rebecca Wilks are preparing for the chamber music event at Radley College, Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
They will perform works by Susato and Mozart after becoming the only Sussex musicians to win through heats in Haywards Heath and Croydon. Poppea is aged only eight and the others are ten.
Mary Huxford, secretary of the junior school, said: "They've done exceptionally well, especially bearing in mind their ages. Most of the other schools in the competition are secondary schools."
