  1. Consolidated Baptist District Women’s Retreat Celebrating 20 Years WELCOMES Georgia Mass Choir Formed in 1983, the 150-voice Georgia Mass Choir came to prominence through highly visible appearances in the Whitney Houston film The Preacher's Wife and at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Lead voice, songwriter, and founder Rev. Milton Biggham had spent time organizing Savoy Records, but returned to his home state to organize the choir from over 600 applicants. Naturally, the Georgia Mass Choir began re-cording for Savoy, and released their first album Yes, He Can in the mid-'80s. Additional albums followed, and by the early '90s, the group began to be recognized around the nation as one of the leading gospel choirs through Grammy and Dove Award nominations, and the gift of the Keys to the City of Atlanta. Film director Penny Marshall cast them in The Preacher's Wife in 1996, and the choir also received a Gospel Music Workshop of America Excellence Award. ‘GOSPEL WORSHIP ARTIST’ Friday, June 8, 2012 6:30 p.m.
