Music at the Basilica
Chamber Choir
The Basilica Chamber Choir is the primary vocal ensemble of the basilica and the oldest volunteer ministry in the parish. The chamber choir typically sings for one of the Sunday morning Masses from September through Pentecost. The chamber choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm -8:30pm.
Cantor Ministry
The Basilica Cantor Ministry is open by audition to music readers who are typically a part of one of the ensembles. Previous experience is not required. Contact the Director of Music for details.
Are you an instrumentalist? Parishioners who play flute, violin, or other instruments at a late intermediate to advanced level are encouraged to contact the director of music.
The Basilica Organ
The Basilica Organ was built by the Wicks Organ Company in 1980. It was tonally finished by Charles Mosley and Jonathan Tuuk.
The organ was modified by the Lauck Pipe Organ Company in 1999 and 2001. A new console was installed by the Goulding and Wood Pipe Organ Company in 2022. The full specification can be viewed here.
