On October 31, All Hallows’ Eve, the Cathedral Candlelight Concert returns with Requiem: Souls and Saints, A Journey from Grief to Glory.

Last March, we welcomed more than 400 people to an evening of classical and sacred music and fellowship, gathered beneath the towering dome of Altoona’s Cathedral and surrounded by the warmth of candlelight. This Halloween, we are pleased to invite the community to gather with us once again.

This concert enters into the beauty, mystery, and true meaning of Hallowtide – the sacred three days that commemorate the faithful Christians who have gone before us: All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day.

Through sacred music performed once again by skilled young adult musicians, Requiem, Souls and Saints invites us to rediscover the true meaning of Hallowtide.

Through great works of J.S. Bach, Puccini, Gabriel Fauré, and more, we enter into two of the most profound moments of the Christian life: death and resurrection.

Join us this Halloween for an unforgettable evening of sacred music followed by a time for fellowship in the Cathedral parish hall at the Cathedral Candlelight Concert.
