“Absolutely amazing to get the chance to do this!! It was just a little bit terrifying though, performing with a piano legend (hence the concentration face & shaky fingers!),” Charlotte tweeted afterwards. “Do give the piano a go, it’s so beautiful to be able to play a piece like @AlexisFfrench’s ‘Bluebird’.”
