About SDG

Fifty years of sacred choral music.

Since 1976, generations of Bay Area singers, musicians, and listeners have gathered around music that speaks across centuries.

Mission

We rejoice in the gift of music.

We rejoice in the gift of music by dedicating ourselves to the quality performance of sacred music in a concert setting.

SDG brings singers and audiences together around sacred masterworks and meaningful repertoire, performed with care, beauty, and conviction.

We prepare thoughtfully and perform with clarity, discipline, and expressive depth.

We welcome singers and listeners from across the Bay Area and from many backgrounds.

We honor sacred choral music as a living art form, rooted in history and renewed in each performance.
