The Cultural Alliance of York County has announced the 2019 YorVoice champions. YorVoice, a singing competition/talent showcase event, highlights the talent of York County and features a celebrity panel of judges. Proceeds benefit the Cultural Alliance's annual campaign. This year's YorVoice event was held on March 30 and featured 10 teams of musicians performing in front of a record audience of 1,100 spectators.
The York College Rock Band was awarded the title of Live Band Champion for its performance of "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straights, and Jess Pastelak took home the Vocal Champion honor for her performance of "Hollow" by Tori Kelley.
The People's Choice Award was awarded in a landslide to Teagan Tatcher, who brought in 2,847 votes, in part by unlocking a $1,000 match challenge offered to the teams. Collectively, the 10 teams brought in 8,205 People's Choice votes, helping to raise $8,205 for the Cultural Alliance's 2019 annual campaign.
Judges also crowned Jeanette Parker, who performed "Last Dance" by Donna Summer, as the YorVoice runner-up in a close competition.
The YorVoice mission is to inspire York pride, celebrate the arts and their impact on the community, highlight local talent, and raise awareness for the annual campaign.
The Cultural Alliance was founded as a United Arts Fund in 1999. Its annual campaign supports eight partner agencies and funds the Creative Impact Award grants that bring arts and culture to life in York County. Since 1999, the Cultural Alliance's annual campaign has granted a total of $10.2 million cash and, since 2000, more than $2 million of in-kind support.
