Loreta is now creating and recording her 10th album “HALLOWEEN YEAR”. Please support this process by buying tickets to her shows, donating to her recording fund and always by adding her existing music to your playlists and sharing her songs online with your friends.
“Croatian-born Houstonian Loreta Kovacic moves between the classical and pop milieus as fluidly as her fingers dance around the ivories. Her show has a distinct cabaret feel to it, filtered through her larger-than-life personality.” (CultureMap Houston)People I would like to thank:
1 producer John Edward Ross at Studio Sassafras for producing my last four albums: House of Gilda Haas, Fossil Pop, Texas Slav, and Halloween Year (release: Halloween 11.1.2026) Incredible collaboration!
2 professor Art Gottschalk from Rice University for his ongoing support way beyond Rice years.
3 my dedicated theremin player Joe Parani who is also my roadie even when things get tough. Music heals us. It’s a great medication for Parkinson’s.
4 my brother producer Stanko who is a magnificent artist. I have a family of artists who I love to collaborate with. This includes my son and daughter Johnny and Maya Parani and cousin Melita Lovricevic.❤️
