A youth choir from Surrey is to take part in a sold-out performance at the Royal Albert Hall at the BBC Proms.
Farnham Youth Choir will perform with the National Youth Orchestra during a rendition of Neptune in Holst's famous The Planets in London on Saturday.
A total of 30 singers, aged between 13 to 21-years-old, will be taking part in the concert.
Patrick Barrett, the group's artistic director, said: "I'm incredibly proud of our young singers, whose hard work and dedication made this invitation possible."
He added: "For our small-town choir to be invited to such a prestigious, globally recognised event is a tremendous honour."
The performance follows the choir competing at the 2024 World Choir Games in New Zealand, where they won two gold medals.
Its three choirs rehearse with a dedicated team of professional musicians every Wednesday during term time in Farnham.
