Sol Deo Gloria, a quintet of five kids who play the violin and sing, performed at Isadora Church of Christ Sunday. They are the grandchildren of Pastor Delbert Biehle, who has preached at Isadora for several years now. They are the children of Kevin Biehle, Delbert’s son. They live in West Virginia.
They are Hannah, Sophia, Isaiah, Victoria, and Lydia, all of whom have been performing for at least 10 years. Lydia has been performing since she was four, when she played a 16” violin.
They played pieces from Bach and Hayden, church hymns, a gypsy song, a patriotic medley at the end, and even a couple of popular songs. They take requests, and one of them, “You’re my Hero,” was for a family friend in the nursing home who had been a Gideon, placing Bibles in hotels and preaching at churches. The man’s wife had passed away, and she had been his hero because she had always accompanied him on his church visits and prayed for him while sitting in the front row.
The children get their musical talent from their grandfather, who can still play concert-level piano pieces. Isaiah and grandfather Delbert played a violin/piano duet at one point.
They have traveled all over the Midwest and eastern US performing; one of their biggest audiences was in a big church in Canton (OH).
At the end, Pastor Delbert talked briefly on Matthew 1:19, where Joseph is a righteous man. “If we’re righteous, we will raise our family well, we will work, and we will bring friends to know God,” he said.
