Sacre Coeur Organ Recitals?

[annettecinca]

I know that St. Eustache and Notre Dame have organ recitals on Sunday afternoons (St. Eustache @ 4:30 & Notre Dame @ 5:30), but does anyone know if Sacre Coeur offers one as well, and at what time?

Not organ recitals but on Sundays the nun's sing the Latin mass, might be something to attend even if you are not Catholic

That sounds kind of interesting, Demarias. Do you know the time? How long would it run?

[Jody]

Sundays at 11 AM. Masses usually run about an hour

Thanks sweetie!

A couple of years ago, I arrived there about 5 or 5:30 just in time to see the nuns file in and then start singing acapella. There wasn't a mass*, just the singing. I think someone told me that this happens every day. Sorry that I'm more than a little vague on this.

* at least while I was there

Thanks for that lead, Darcy! Late afternoon/early evening will probably fit better for the way that day is stacking up for me. I'd love to take a more relaxed "see what happens" approach, but my newbies are feeling like there's so much to do and so little time, since they'll "only make it to Paris once" (little do they know that's not how it works out! ). As a result, I'm scheduling this trip more than I ever have in the past. But I'm planning a week specifically geared to grooming 3 new addicts! LOL We are going to have some pretty busy days, but I'm also allowing time for some wandering and café sitting. Trying to be well-rounded!

The above is a list of organ music in Paris churches, also in Sacré C.

Thanks Gitte--I knew I'd seen a list like that somewhere, but evidently only copied down the info for Sunday afternoon at Notre Dame and St. Eustache, since that's when/where I thought we'd go on our last trip! Now I'm realizing I can't rely totally on my old notes when planning for the future!
