The new classical girlband and pop star were special guests of Culture Minister David Lammy who hosted a reception to mark the event for up to 150 dignitaries from the world of music at the House of Commons.
The group performed two tracks from their record breaking debut album, Steal Away and a cover of Robbie Williams smash hit Angels, which is a hot favourite to be this year's Christmas No 1.
Georgian jazz/blues singing sensation Melua also wowed the audience with a couple of numbers before the project, which aims to assist teachers and students in the classroom, was unveiled.
On meeting the singer and songwriter for the first time, Melanie said: "She is someone who you see so much on TV and she has done so well musically - to be actually doing something with her is absolutely amazing.
"She is someone who I have a lot of respect for because she writes her own songs.
"There are so many artists these days who are handed songs, so I take my hat off to her."
