School choir melts hearts around world
ON an emotional night, it was perhaps the most moving moment.
Natasha Seth, a schoolgirl at Parrs Wood High School, reduced the thousands inside the stadium and at home to tears as she and the school choir took to the stage to perform Ariana Grande’s hit ‘My Everything’ with the pop superstar.
At one point, like much of the watching audience around the world, she seemed almost overwhelmed by the moment.
Natasha is only 12 years old but she has become something of a sensation over the past few weeks since the choir performed the song and posted a video of the rendition to YouTube after the Manchester Arena terror attack, which killed 22 people.
The video was also linked to a Just Giving page aimed to raise money for those affected.
It has since raised a huge amount of money. The fund has seen an incredible amount of support, and has raised £4,877. The original target was only £2,000.
The choir also released a small statement saying: “The aim is to contribute to the money raised for the families of the victims and support with financial costs.
“Music brought people together at the concert on 22/5/2017 and we hope this is a fitting tribute to all the victims, their friends and families, the people of Manchester and the British spirit which will never be broken.”
The school’s performance at Sunday night’s concert drew huge response on social media, with many people admitting it had caused tears seeing Grande and Natasha well up.
