About

Established in July 2025, our name, “Gratia,” is latin for Grace. Although you can typically find most of us playing heavenly hymns on Sundays at Grace Community Church, now we’re spreading our wings and trying out some chamber music (because why not?). Ultimately, we’d like to share our gift of music with audiences and connect with communities through music.

Our backgrounds are varied - John just started UCLA law school, Cecille is a public servant, Matt is a medical professional, Debbie and Amber both perform/teach music, and will soon start graduate school (artist diploma for Debbie and music education for Amber), and Kazuki works at church - but we all share a passion for music.

If you’re reading this, please come to our concert. We will pour heart into it and we’d love it if you could make it!

Sincerely,
The Gratia Sextet
Kazuki, Amber, Debbie, Cecille, Matt and John.

Music

Have you ever heard of a string sextet? Quartets and trios are popular, but a sextet? Our group, a string sextet, is a little unusual - not too small, but not too big, but definitely unique! We are made up of 6 strings! We consist of 2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos.

Some of the most amazingly beautiful chamber pieces ever written are for string sextet! To start, for our first program we will be performing the beautiful, intricate and soaring Brahms String Sextet in G which is absolutely gorgeous! Next, we will move on to the boisterously energetic Souvenir de Florence by Tchaikovsky. These pieces are challenging, but it’s been so worth the effort preparing the music and bringing the notes to life. We are enjoying the entire music making process of learning these intricate works by Mr. Brahms and Mr. Tchaikovsky.
