MISSION: “We rejoice in God’s gift of music by dedicating ourselves to the quality performance of sacred music in a concert setting.”

WHO WE ARE: Soli Deo Gloria is an auditioned San Francisco Bay Area community choir dedicated to the performance of masterworks of the sacred repertoire in a concert setting. The choir’s membership is drawn from six Bay Area counties. Founded in 1976, SDG performed under the name Bay Area Lutheran Chorale until 1999 and was conducted by Allen H. Simon from 1991 to 2024. As of 2024, Julia Morris has begun her tenure as the artistic director.

AUDITIONS: Auditioning singers are welcome to Soli Deo Gloria for a probationary trimester. The artistic director will advise you at the end of the trimester whether you have been accepted as a returning member and/or counsel you on steps you must take to be accepted as a returning member.

DUES: Membership dues are collected for each of the three semesters to support the operations of the choir. Dues are $95 per trimester, including the cost of music. Please pay by the first rehearsal, or make an arrangement with the treasurer. Limited financial assistance is available; for details speak to Mauna Arnzen.
