Three Fayette County students identified as being among the top vocalists and instrumentalists in the world will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Brothers Nico Huff, from Peachtree City Elementary, and Alex Huff, from J.C. Booth Middle School, took first place for their age groups in the 2016 American Protégé International Vocal Competition in the Broadway category. They competed with students from countries including Russia, Ukraine, Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, France, Canada, and the United States. They are the only first-place winners from Georgia. Whitewater High School Band member Matthew Brown will play the euphonium as a member of the 2017 High School Honors Performance Series, limited to the highest-rated high school performers from around the world. The Huff brothers will perform at Carnegie Hall the weekend of Dec. 16. Nico will sing "Electricity" from the musical "Billy Elliot," and Alex will sing "A Friend Like Me" from "Aladdin." Matthew Brown will perform at Carnegie Hall in February.
