Together with Notre-Dame de Paris April 26, 2019 – 7PM Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception 400 Michigan Ave, NE - Washington, D.C. The tragic fire that broke out at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15th destroying its iconic spire and reducing its ancient wooden roof to ash has sparked a wave of sympathy and emotion across the world. The French cathedral, which dates back more than 850 years, will be rebuilt, “more beautiful than before” declared French President Emmanuel Macron. Reconstruction of Notre-Dame will take many years, and is going to be a huge collective effort. Join us on April 26th, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D. C., for a free concert celebrating the spiritual and cultural significance of Notre-Dame de Paris in the world and the hope for its future. South Rose Window of Notre-Dame Cathedral The program (to be announced soon) will feature Johann Vexo, organist at Notre-Dame de Paris, and the choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
