Soli Deo Gloria was established in 1997 and is one of the youngest choirs in Urk. The meaning of Soli Deo Gloria is \u2018Glory to God alone\u2019. That\u2019s our first and most important goal. Each year we have 10 to 15 concerts and during the concerts we are dressed in the folk costume of the former island of Urk. The choir also has a second set of modern, contemporary clothes which are mainly used for TV recordings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our conductor<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaap was born in a musical family and <\/span><\/span>was <\/span><\/span>brought up with music surrounding him. Jaap\u2019s <\/span><\/span>talent was discoveres early <\/span><\/span>and around the age of 12 he started playing the organ during church services.

Jaap\u2019s personal faith in God has grown during the years. . Jaap: \u201cI want to make a big effort in the christian music scene. I believe that it is my calling. For some people it\u2019s very easy to talk about their personal faith, my language is music. I would like my music to become an instrument in His Hands.<\/span><\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
