200 singers and musicians from seven GEMS Wellington schools came together to record a charity single released on iTunes. This was to raise money for an orphanage in India – Harmony House India. On release day, the single got to No1 in the UAE charts and No1 in the UK Soundtrack charts. Through this cause, we raised nearly 30,000aed for the charity and the WSO students worked with West End Music Producers and Singing Teachers to produce, record and edit this track. 

 

Jodie Quirke, Wellington Director of Performing Arts said: “Every student involved in the GEMS Wellington Charity Single initiative will remember this for the rest of their lives. They have recorded and sung with leading music industry professionals and coaches, they sang and danced in a high-quality music video, and some have even performed live on TV and radio for the first time ever. But most importantly, they have made a real impact on the lives of less fortunate children. This initiative shows the enduring power of performing arts on students and the world, and why it is so important to us at GEMS WSO.”
