As part of Godolphin School's Inspiring People Series, and in conjunction with the English Speaking Union, world renowned violinist Tasmin Little celebrated youth and music in Salisbury in a concert in Salisbury Cathedral on Friday 7 March.

The concert, attended by almost 800 people, featured musicians and choristers from the Salisbury Youth Orchestra, Godolphin Orchestra, Godolphin School Choir, Godolphin Prep Choir, Godolphin Vocal Ensemble, Godolphin Voices, Leaden Hall Choir, Downton Primary School Choir, St Edmund's School Chamber Choir and two choirs from the Salisbury Cathedral School.

The musicians attended a masterclass given by Tasmin Little in the afternoon and then performed alongside Tasmin in the evening. Tasmin spoke of the opportunities given her through the generosity of the English Speaking Union's scholarship programme and the work she does with underprivileged children through music and the Kids Camp Charity.

Funds raised from the concert, which were in excess of £12 000, will be shared equally between the ESU, Kids Camp and the Salisbury Cathedral Choral Foundation.
