Soli Deo Gloria is a choir from the San Francisco Bay area that performs concerts of masterpieces of the sacred repertoire. The members of the choir come from six counties in the bay area and rehearse in Alameda. This choir began its journey in 1975 and is directed by Allen H. Simon since 1991. H. Simon studied at Westminster Choir College and the University of Arizona, and was educated with Joseph Flummerfelt, Frauke Haasemann, Maurice Skones and Helmuth Rilling. In addition to his work with SDG, he has taught voice, theory and direction at Notre Dame of the University of Namur in Belmont, and has directed high school students at Peninsula Teen Opera, in addition to carrying out other work and activities always related to music.
Soli Deo Gloria will offer two free concerts in Barcelona with 31 singers.
