Schoolgirl pianist set for Bolshoi performance

A teenage pianist is preparing to perform at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow – where she will also sit her German exam.

Paisley schoolgirl Jessica Fraser, 15, who plays clarsach and piano, will take part in a series of performances as part of a collaboration between the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow and Rostov State Rachmaninov Conservatoire in Russia.

The renowned venue will double up as the location for her National 5 German exams after the Gleniffer High School student received permission to sit them abroad.
