The Music & Fine Arts Ministry of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Catholic Cathedral will present its fourth annual “All Souls Concert” on All
Souls Day – Sunday – November 2nd at 4 pm. This concert-service event
remembers loved ones that have passed and seeks to treasure them and make
their memory a blessing to the future generations. This is a musical and
spiritual offering that is given to the Cathedral community, the Greater Gulf
Coast Community, and to the Biloxi Diocese community.

The concert-service features music selections of remembrance including
“Requiem” by the 20th/21st century composer – Michael John Trotta. While
this “Requiem” was commissioned by a consortium of College, High School
and Church Choral programs to feature a twenty-first century treatment of
the Requiem genre, it was written to provide hope, healing, and comfort to
“all” who have experienced the sting of loss while modernizing the treatment
of both the text and the musical setting.

The Music & Fine Arts Ministry of the Cathedral invites anyone who
would like to submit a remembrance (name/s) to be listed in the program - to
share them by Monday, October 27th at noon to the email contact info site
listed below. No donation is required to do this; but donations are tax deductible and graciously accepted. These funds will directly finance the Chamber Orchestra for this program.

The program will be shared by the Massed Choral Societies of Gloria in
Excelsis of the Cathedral and Mobile, Alabama’s Mobile Vocal Arts. The
massed choir of 45 voices will be accompanied by a full chamber orchestra.

The program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact
