Remote Trauma supplies Medical Support for 'The Choir'
23 October 2007
Remote Trauma provided the Health Risk Management and medical cover to Twenty Twenty both in the UK and China.
THE CHOIR QUESTION: What does a London Symphony Orchestra choirmaster named Gareth Malone have in common with a bunch of R&B mad kids from a West London comprehensive school?
ANSWER: Nothing!
Gareth’s on a mission to unearth raw singing talent and show the world why music needs to be reinstated in schools. He believes singing can transform kids. So we set him a challenge…. Can he turn a group of kids who’ve never sung a note in their lives into an ensemble capable of competing with the very best at the “World Choir Games” in China?
Step forward Northolt High School. It has no tradition of music, no formal choir and the kids have grown up listening to R&B and rap. Worlds apart from Gareth’s classical upbringing.
To begin with Gareth contends with bad behaviour, absenteeism and and a general lack of belief but as the months pass by a near miraculous transformation takes place. These kids can sing and they love it!
