We could write a lot of words describing Soli Deo Gloria, but the mission of our organization doesn't come alive in words; it comes alive in the music! We invite you to experience first-hand the energy and vision of SDG in this introductory video to our work around the world.
Want to hear more? The video below introduces some of the inspiring people behind our vision. From the opening response by Artistic Director John Nelson to the question, “What is it about SDG that excites you?”, to remarks about the first performance of Brahms’ Requiem in China, we hope you’ll catch the spirit behind the music.
