The Motet Choir has been preparing a memorial concert these past months.
The concert will be here at House of Hope, on April 18, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.

In her final weeks and months, Sofia wrote an outline of her wishes for any memorials. Since "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" by John Rutter was one of her favorites, she requested that it be included in her memorial concert.

We would love to have as many alumni who knew and loved Sofia be a part of this event. We will gather at 1:00 on the day of the concert to run through the piece, and then during the concert folks can come up and join the Motet Choir at the front of the sanctuary to sing together and honor our teacher, mentor, and friend.

The Motet Choir is giving a concert in Sofia's memory on April 18. We hope to see you there!

A hard but healing morning celebrating our dear friend, Sofia, who passed away last Sunday.
Some of the alums asked if they could sing our favorite song and lots "kids" answered the call.
It was beautiful to see so many students that we had taught together over the years along with former choir-mates, and our childhood director. Also my mom and kids joined in.
Truly a morning to remember.
