You have been rating the entries and the four finalists of Classic FM's Live & Uploaded have now been selected. Find out who they are and how you can vote for your favourite...

The Talent
Over the past few weeks, up and coming classical talent from around the UK have been uploading their audition videos and audio to our dedicated website and you have been voting in your thousands for your favourites.

The level of talent has been incredible throughout the competition and we had a tough time selecting only four to go on to the next voting phase. Thanks to your help we have narrowed it down to two wonderful sopranos - Pippa Lusty and Rhiannon Lambert, one impressive tenor (and the only male in our final) Jon Grave and the outstanding percussionist Katy Elizabeth Elman

Now they need your help once again. All you have to do is vote for your favourite, and the artist with the most unique votes will go on to support Alfie Boe and Natasha Marsh at an exclusive concert for Classic FM on Tuesday 17 April.

The Concert
This exclusive concert will take place at St. John's in Smith Square, London on Tuesday April 17 and promises to be an night to remember, in the company of soprano Natasha Marsh and tenor Alfie Boe.

You are not able to buy tickets for this event, but you can enter our prize draw to try and win a pair. However, don't worry if you aren't amongst the lucky winners because there is a way all other listeners can be there too, even without a ticket. And here's how it works...

The Webcast
Our partners Intel will be hosting and streaming the whole concert live from the venue on www.classicfm.com, making it possible for you to watch everything as it happens, from the comfort of your own sitting room.

This concert will be streamed live right here on www.classicfm.com at 7.30pm on Tuesday 17 April, powered by Intel Core 2 duo Processor - Multiplying your entertainment!

The Artists

Soprano Natasha Marsh comes from a very musical family and was introduced to musical theatre from an early age and started performing at many school plays and the National Youth Theatre.
After graduating with a first in music and drama from Birmingham University, Natasha went on to attend the prestigious Royal College of Music opera school. From her acclaimed debut as Jaqueline in 'Fortunio' to singing Pamina in 'Die Zauberflete', Natasha Marsh has certainly developed into one of opera's most promising young stars. Her debut CD 'Amour' is out now.

Alfie Boe is undoubtedly one of the finest tenors to come out of the UK at the moment and probably one of the most uncoventional, too.

Boe left his job as a trainee mechanic up North and headed to London to pursue his dream of a operatic singing career. After initial struggles, he started his career with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and studies at schools such as The Royal College Of Music.When Alfie Boe accepted a part in Baz Luhrmanns controversial production of La Boheme against all good advice from his peers, he proved that his gut feeling could be relied on once more. He received a prestigious Tony Award for his performance.

Alfie Boe's debut CD was released by Classic FM Presents in October 2006. His latest album, 'Onward' is out now.
