Commenting on the initiative, Ricky Kej – Grammy-winning American composer, music producer and Environmentalist, said, “At a time as uncertain and unnerving as this, music from across the globe was successful in doing what it does best – bringing people together. I believe that every person in the audience, including me, took away the message that we are all in this together, even as we socially distance ourselves. Moreover, the event has spread much-needed awareness and appreciation for our fragile and ever-giving environment. I believe that this will lead to positive changes and sustainable practices to continue protecting the earth even when the pandemic has passed. This was a one-of-a-kind experience and I am delighted to have been a part of it.”

Speaking on the event, Mr. Ramani Iyer, Founder, One Page Spotlight, said, “We are thrilled to witness the huge traction that the Global Online Concert has garnered. This only goes to show that people, no matter where they are located, are cumulatively looking for a guiding light that directs them out of this dark and highly challenging period.
