Soren hails from Bellingham, WA, and is completing his Bachelor's of Arts in Music at Cal Lutheran. With a musically interdisciplinary background ranging from theatrical accompaniment to organ performance, Soren's concert works blend traditional genres with contemporary styles to create accessible, innovative, and memorable music.
Graduating from Bellingham High School as a National School Choral awardee, Soren entered his time at Cal Lutheran with the goal of furthering and developing his choral compositional technique. Soren has since continued to compose primarily for the voice and choir, with various works performed both regionally and internationally.
Soren has accompanied congregations and communities throughout the West Coast with his unique style and love for the hymnody. Starting as a substitute at his home church, CTS Lutheran in Bellingham, WA, he furthered his experience before taking on a Student Leader position within the Office of Campus Ministry at California Lutheran University, serving as the chapel accompanist for the 2024-25 academic year.
With a basis in musical theater and a firm foundation in piano improvisation, Soren's theatrical work is embodied in joyful live accompaniment for musicals and versatile integration with comedic improv troupes, as well as compositional projects for original children's musicals in partnership with the Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth.
