Grammy Award winning artist CeCe Winans will headline a benefit concert at the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts in Atlanta on the evening of Feb. 24.

Winner of two 2006 Grammys for Best Gospel Performance and Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album, Winans is scheduled to perform for Atlanta Community Ministries in a public event called One City, Many Voices along with guest artists Candi Pearson and Aaron Shust.

The eighth of ten children in one of gospel music's most renowned musical families, Winans has spent more than 20 years in the music business, with her latest album "Purified" offering a mix of R&B, hip-hop, pop and traditional gospel.

Also performing at the benefit concert are Pearson, who makes frequent appearances at North Point Community Church and Buckhead Church in Atlanta, and Shust, who is a frequent worship leader at Perimeter Church and is slated to open the show.

As a Christian, interdenominational and ecumenical organization, Atlanta Community Ministries consists of 29 ministries and 700 volunteers from over 60 Atlanta churches.
