The Cascade United Methodist Church Chancel Choir will be in concert on Saturday, February 27 at 5:00 PM. The choir, under the direction of Roland Carter, will offer a program of sacred music by Duke Ellington and the cantata Changed My Name by Lynda Twine.

Devonne Gardner will be the guest soloist for the Ellington part of the program. Ms Gardner has performed this music often and serves as a consultant in its performance as well as a soloist.

Changed My Name will feature soloists from the choir. If you are familiar with Cascade UMC, then you know that it has some very good soloists in all of its choirs.

Roland Carter is widely known as an arranger, composer, conductor and clinician. In addition to directing the Chancel Choir, he also teaches at UT Chattanooga and is in wide demand as a guest conductor and clinician. Among his arrangements is the widely performed concert version of Lift Every Voice And Sing.
