Basilica Organ

Begin your home game weekend festivities by experiencing musical thunder from the sky. Basilica organists will be “pulling out all the stops” during 15-minute informal recitals that are sure to shake the rafters. The concerts will conclude with a rousing rendition of the alma mater. Concerts are every home game Friday.
