They are up against nine other nominees including Sting's Songs From The Labyrinth, and Sir Paul McCartney's oratorio Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart).

Other contenders include Kathryn Jenkins, Alfie Boe, Bryn Terfel and Nicola Benedetti.

As well as being nominated the girls - Laura, 16, and 17-year-olds Melanie Nakhla, Charlotte Ritchie, and Daisy Chute, will be the youngest girls to perform on the night.

Laura said: “I am not sure how it happened. We were just asked for and here we are.

“I have always dreamt of being a classical singer, but I never dreamed in a million years that we would sing at the Classical Brits.”
