'Welcome a Star' is the first single from 15-year-old Scarborough choir soprano Emmie Beckitt, in collaboration with classically trained pianist, composer, Rick Wakeman. 

Rick first met Emmie, who has been singing classical repertoire since the age of ten, at a fundraiser for Kids’n’Cancer – and was so impressed by her voice and effortless range that he decided to record a song with her from his oratorio The New Gospels. 

Released by Hope Records via Nova Distribution, the song features Emmie on lead vocals, accompanied by the Orion Orchestra, with Rick on keyboards, and the English Chamber Choir.
