A Purley children's choir has made it to the closing stages of the BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year competition.
The Emerald Choir is now set to compete in their category final at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on Sunday, November 12.
They will perform in front of an audience of almost 2,000 in a bid to sing in the grand final on December 10.
Emerald Choir, which is part of the Emerald Music School, practices at Laleham Lea School on Saturdays and this year sang at the Royal Festival Hall as part of Music for Youth. They have also taken part in the Croydon Music Festival.
BBC Radio 3 presenter Aled Jones will be hosting the shows which are being broadcast in two editions of The Choir on November 19 and 26 at 6.30pm.
