Sola Gratia Ecumenical Women's Choir
A Message From The Director
Sola Gratia's concert on November 15 was a great success! With our largest audience to date and and outstanding performance by all groups involved, I feel we met our goal of producing a concert of fine repertoire, including both historic and new music, while teaching, encouraging, and developing lifelong choristers among Sola Gratia's new singers, and the young singers of Kingwood High School, Penelope Campbell, Director ,and Lonestar College-Kingwood, Dr. Todd Miller, Director. With the help of Shirley and Michael Astwood, we benefited from the excellence of our local instrumentalists with an outstanding orchestra accompanying Vivaldi's Gloria. Sergei Kuznetsov, our long-standing collaborative pianist, delivered another perfect performance and, along with cellist Lara Horichenko-Balema, one of the show stopping numbers of the evening!
A challenging project such as this would not be possible without your support. Your generosity over these last three years has enabled our singers to build their skills and repertoire through regular rehearsals throughout the year. For many of our singers, performing a major work of the Baroque era, in Latin, was a new experience. They rose to the occasion and delivered a performance they can be proud of.
Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting another of Sola Gratia's events and for your support of J's House as they prepare for the first foster children to arrive.
Wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy, blessed holiday season.
~Mer
Meredith Koerner, Director, Board Chair

Save the Date!
Sola Gratia's spring concert date is May 2, 2026!
The theme for this program is The Poetry of Song. Think pianistic pieces with text centered around springtime and new life. There are so many songs that fit this idea that I'm having trouble choosing! From the beautiful words of the Psalms to Randall Thompson's Frostiana and Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World, the options are many! Stay tuned for more details!
Sola Gratia's new rehearsal season begins in January. We welcome new singers at this time. Watch the video below and submit the form under the Join Us tab for more information.
