Sign UpMission Statement
The Concert Series at the Basilica of Saint Mary is designed to foster community and our ideals as a Catholic Parish. Each year the series will program the works of great musicians from different eras and feature national and local artists including solo, chamber, and university ensembles. The concerts embody the spirit of the magisterium of the Catholic Church, seeking to unify, engage and educate our lives as Christians. The performances will also be coordinated with the liturgical cycle and each event will draw on themes of the individual religious season.
