Society of Musical Artists
Soma International Foundation Inc., is a non-profit organization, (501 c 3) founded in 1978 by Lois Alba and Arthur Wachter and was organized in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware with emphasis on raising awareness and appreciation for the art of opera.
Our operations are currently based in Houston, Texas.
We would like to honor and thank each of the following people and company for their interest, many contributions and loyal assistance they have shown us over the past years. Without their support, it would have been impossible to have helped so many talented young singers transition to professionals in the amazing world of opera.
Many, many warm heartfelt thanks to all of you and we look forward to seeing you all at our next event!
