Loreta is now creating and recording her 10th album “THE 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.
Music from Loreta’s nine albums (Fugitive Visions, Piano Notturno, Cantabile, Brother Tadpole, Space Wiggs, Slavic & Western, House of Gilda Haas, Fossil Pop & Piano, and Texas Slav) has been played on the International Space Station.
“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)
She loves performing and collaborating with her brother, Croatian cellist Stanislav Kovacic, Houston producer John Edward Ross and her dedicated theremin player, Joe Parani. She also performs solo, with her piano melodica, and voice.

“Grateful Heart”
This song is on the “Fossil Pop” album and was written during Loreta’s COVID days, in the summer of 2020.
“My Goodbye Song”
This music video was made by Loreta’s artist daughter Maya Parani when she was in HS. It is also known as the “Diet Song”. It inspires you to say goodbye to all the unhealthy foods. Maya captured its comedic effect in this video.
Classical Background
Loreta holds a Doctorate in piano performance from Rice University, and is also widely known for her earlier classical piano performances. This is her original piece called “Scherzo for T”, commissioned by Dr Eric B. of Houston, performed at Carnegie Hall.
