Concert and Recital Requests
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a sacred space and should be treated with the highest level of dignity and respect. Groups directly affiliated with the Congregation of Holy Cross or the University of Notre Dame may reserve the Basilica for a concert or recital.
Concerts may be held on Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at 8 p.m. Please note the 8 p.m. Sunday time slot is for organ recitals only. A request to reserve the Basilica for a concert or recital may be made via an online form. Ordinarily, such requests are made two months in advance. Making the request is not the same as reserving the Basilica. A member of the Campus Ministry staff will let you know within two weeks of your request whether it has been approved.
Fees for reserving the space are as follows:
- Organ Concert Fee: $100
- Choral Concert Fee: $200
