After claiming top honors at a regional competition Sunday, a group of Statesboro singers can look forward to showcasing their talents in a city as grand as their voices.The men and women of United Voices for Christ, a Statesboro-based gospel choir, impressed a panel of judges during a performance in Macon enough to be awarded invitations to a string of future concerts, including a show at New York City’s renowned Apollo Theater. The group, having been named the top choir in its region, will be guaranteed a spot among three other choirs from around the state for a first ever Georgia in New York Gospel Concert in August, according concert promoter Dr. Harry Ross.“Prior to Sunday’s Christmas concert (held in Macon’s Cox-Capitol Theater), I had never seen nor heard of United Voices of Christ,” Ross said. “They were highly recommended to us and we put them in amidst the other tremendous choirs to perform.”“When I saw the results I was dumbfounded,” he said.
