Trish Foti Genco: Home
I feel so honored to have the privileged to sing for the great people of New Orleans; a people of strength, hope, and love. Listen to this video about the re-instillation of a statue of St. Francis Xavier on the 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, to my home parish of Immaculate Conception; I just happened to be there rehearsing when they taped it. The words of my pastor are beautiful. The song I am singing "He'll Carry You" will be on my upcoming CD LOVED, more information about this release to come.

"The lovely voice of Catholic music artist Trish Foti Genco breathes with freshness, intimacy, and spirit... The blend of musical instruments is simplistic, giving one time to breathe in, taste, and see - yes even visualize the picture she is painting in spirit.... The piano work in this song, just as many on the new disc, begins solemnly, then slowly builds to a moving channel of emotions, flowing ever so kindly, answering the voice. Dreux Montegut’s musical work must be applauded...I must suggest if your parish, organization, or group is looking for an exceptionally talented Catholic artist to lead and inspire your congregation in Holy Mass, or simply perform at your next venue, consider Trish Foti Genco, and be moved." Grapevine Magazine
