Biography
In addition to becoming among America's foremost
Classical soprano soloists, Janice Chandler-Eteme brings
great personal conviction to Spiritual/Gospel music. She
has recorded Soulful Messiah, Angels On High (with
Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony), and her latest
collaboration is with the premier Gospel artist and
composer Richard Smallwood on his eagerly-anticipated
recording "Journey: Live In New York," also featuring
such formidable R&B artists as Chaka Khan and Kelly
Price. She is the featured soloist on "We Worship You."
Although she has graced the world's major concert
stages, some of her most uniquely satisfying musical and
spiritual experiences remain at places--and events--of
worship. These include as soloist at Dupont Park's
Centennial Celebration, Metropolitan Baptist Church, New
Shiloh Baptist Church, Berea Temple and First Church
(all in the Baltimore/Washington area, where she
resides); and appearances at the Shiloh Seventh-Day
Adventist Church in Chicago, Ebenezer Seventh-Day
Adventist Church in Atlanta, Miracle Temple also in
Baltimore, Andrews University in Berrien Springs,
Michigan and Breath of Life Church in Thousand Oaks,
California.

collaborations include: Yuri Temirkanov and the Baltimore
Symphony, Rome's Santa Cecilia Orchestra, Stefan Sanderling and the Florida Orchestra, Peter Oundijan at
