A talented young pianist was inspired to continue his music lessons after performing with an international star.
Samuel Banks, of Coggeshall, played music such as Beethoven’s fifth symphony along with 99 other pianists and the classical musician Lang Lang at the London Royal Festival Hall.
The nine-year-old St Peter’s Primary School pupil had auditioned for the part at the suggestion of his music teacher and was thrilled to be chosen.
Speaking about the concert on May 22 he said: “It was amazing.
“There was lots of other pianists and it was inspiring.”
