About Me
Coming about through a blessed confluence of events, the Solemne Ministry is the collaborative brainchild of musical prodigy Alejandro Consolacion II and long-time choirmaster Eugene Calimag. Having been friends and in the choral scene for twenty years, the two have been talking about a project like this for around fifteen years.
Spurred by the release of the revised English missal, Alejandro and Eugene both thought it a good time to finally restart the project that they had shelved for some time. Only now, the idea wasn’t just to end with a single album; the idea was now to establish a ministry that would introduce a new generation of music to Philippine Catholics. The new ministry would have as its aim the creation of beautiful music to help the faithful to a more prayerful, solemn state of mind. Springing from that, they both decided that the new ministry would be called Solemne Ministry.
For its first project, Misa Solemne, the ministry features Solemne, Solemne Ministry’s flagship choir and the one Alejandro and Eugene had been serving and been friends with for the last twenty years. Composed of professionals from various walks of life, they came together for the project to share the gift of music and solemn worship of God.
With Misa Solemne as its introduction, Solemne Ministry aims to build the foundations of a legacy of faithful worship, beautiful music, meaningful friendship and joyful service under the aegis of the almighty God.
