Loren Allred, the Pittsburgh-born singer, songwriter, whose chart debut \u2018Never Enough\u2019 featured on the multi-platinum soundtrack to The Greatest Showman, is joining a host of musicians at \u2018The Assembly: A Global Teacher Prize Concert\u2019 in Dubai later this month.<\/p>\n

Allred will be sharing the bill with Little Mix, Rita Ora and Liam Payne at the Varkey Foundation <\/strong>hosted event at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on Saturday 23 March. During her performance Allred will sing both \u2018Never Enough\u2019 and \u2018This is Me\u2019 from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.<\/p>\n

The Varkey Foundation is hosting the concert as a joyful \u2018thank you\u2019 to teachers all around the world for the unsung work they do every day. It will be held on the eve of the Global Teacher Prize ceremony, which will recognise one exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession as well as to shine a spotlight on the important role teachers play in society.<\/p>\n

Loren Allred first rose to fame in 2012 in season 3 of the US version of The Voice TV talent show, with Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine as her coach. Two years later she was a member of the recording ensemble for the film soundtrack of The Greatest Showman, singing Rebecca Ferguson\u2019s part of Jenny Lind the Swedish Nightingale.<\/p>\n

The Greatest Showman soundtrack went on to become the highest selling album in 2018, selling 1.3 million copies in the US alone. Greatest Showman star Hugh Jackman, who played P. T. Barnum in the movie, officially announced the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize top 10 finalists in February in a video message<\/a> seen around the world.<\/p>\n

Sharing her excitement at joining the The Assembly line up, Loren Allred said:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI am honoured to join the line up for the inaugural Global Teacher Prize Concert. It\u2019s so important to sing the praises of teachers as they do such\u00a0valuable\u00a0work, all over the world, in preparing young people to make their own future. \u00a0This concert is a wonderful way to\u00a0share\u00a0this vital message\u00a0with\u00a0the next generation, raising their consciousness through the power of music\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

The musicians will also be joined on stage by the top 10 Finalists of the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, where the spotlight will turn to the teachers, whose inspirational stories will be shared with a live audience.<\/p>\n
