The program will feature Gustav Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children).

DelGiorno holds the dual position of director of liturgy and music for the Cathedral and associate director for music for the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. 

Allman is associate professor of music at Illinois College in Jacksonville and conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony. In addition to his talents as conductor and professor, he is a virtuoso pianist.

DelGiorno said a concert is her way of contributing to the work of rebuilding Haiti after the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake.

“Overwhelmed by the images and reports from Haiti, I have felt that my own prayer and contribution to relief efforts were simply not enough,” she said. “I have no medical skills to share, no other special talents that can be of any use. The talent God gave to me is the ability to make music; in times like these, music has the power to express emotions that words simply cannot. I feel compelled to offer the gift I am able in hope that people will come together to give just a bit more to help the ongoing need of the Haitian people.”

Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted to aid relief efforts for earthquake victims in Haiti.
