Description
In 2004, Isaac Cates partnered with a colleague; Anthony M. Harvey to form a small music ensemble of skilled vocalists whose musical diversity and remarkable vocal ability would set them apart as premier trendsetters in the national gospel music industry.
In the past 18 years, this group of singers (known as “Ordained”) has accomplished great things. Collectively, Isaac Cates and Ordained have toured Switzerland, performed for the 2019 ACDA conference, appeared in concerts and been featured alongside many incredible artists including: Trace Adkins, Lyle Lovett, Vashawn Mitchell, Rodney Bryant, Bebe Winans, Marvin Winans, Saundra Crouch, Richard Smallwood, DeWayne Woods, James Fortune, Kim Burrell, Jonathan McReynolds, Edwin Hawkins, Byron Cage, Pastor Marvin Sapp, Julian Vaughn, Tech N9ne, the late Rev. Timothy Wright, Pastor Shirley Caesar and Icon Oleta Adams.
Ordained recently collaborated with Irish choral group, Anúna and Michael McGlynn for the Tampere vocal music festival recording the song “Maalaulu”. Isaac Cates and Ordained released their new Album “Amazed” in 2022 which was considered for a Grammy Nomination.
Please note that conference attendees do not need to purchase individual concert tickets and will be admitted with their conference badge.
