Musician, educator Chandler to be guest of Turner church April 24

TURNER — The First Universalist Church of Turner Center is hosting special guest, musician and educator Sam Chandler, on Sunday, April 24.
The service will be titled “Centering Within Chaos.” Chander will play starkly different types of music separated by readings, with the goal of illustrating that with preparation and intention, complicated and intrusive states of mind can be overcome. Music selections will be pop, classical and jazz.
The service is from 10 to 11 a.m., with a coffee social following the service. All are welcome.
Chandler is a pianist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and educator. He seeks the connections that can be made with individuals and communities through music and is always looking to expand his knowledge and repertoire of music to better achieve this goal. As an educator, he has found great joy connecting children with their own innate abilities.
Sam can be seen playing music both locally and abroad as a jazz pianist, songwriter, and keyboardist mostly in projects that focus on new original compositions. Sam holds a B.M. in Jazz Piano Performance from the University of Southern Maine and began as Music Director at First Universalist in Yarmouth in November 2017.
The First Universalist Church is on Route 117 in Turner Center, across from the Leavitt Institute. For more information, visit firstuniversalistchurchofturnercenter.org.
