What are people saying about St. Stephen’s Basilica (Szent István Bazilika)

Catherine_B, Sept 2026

Maybe the advertisement could be a bit more specific, for future concerts.

I thought we were going to hear the big gallery church organ but it was a smaller organ on the altar of church, while the organ playing was very professional and nice , was a little disappointed it wasn't the bigger organ.

Lesley_T, Sept 2026

Lovely concert. The...

Lovely concert. The organist played an electric organ. He was fantastic, as were the other musicians. The setting was beautiful.

Endre_P, Sept 2026

Beautiful place and music in God's house.

Beautiful church with wonderful music. Everything was very well organized and managed. My only disappointment was seeing some visitors forget that this is a sacred place of worship and enter wearing very casual clothing such as shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops.

Debra_C, Sept 2026

Wow this event can not be missed!

This is a do not miss event. The concert included an organist, a flutist and an opera singer, what a nice combination. And great opportunity to hear the basilica acoustics and see it all lit up inside and out at night.

Nasser_S, Apr 2026

World class

We googled the musicians on program and it was impressive. Not just "an organist", but a guy who is in charge of organ for several area organizations and has been doing it for years. Not just a flute player, but the conductor of the Danube Symphony. Not just an opera singer but a guy who has won practically every award you can win in that field. We were impressed. The St. Stephen Basilia is stunningly beautiful. Overall a very special event. Highly recommend

Alex_P, Sept 2026

Amazing concert

The concert was outstanding although I wish that there were more upbeat pieces. The venue (St Stephen’s Basilica) is spectacular; the organ and acoustics were mind blowing. Seating was the only negative. We arrived extra early and waited for the doors to open in order to be sit at the front of section 2. Everything went according to plan until the ushers realized that they oversold section 1 five minutes before the start of the concert. We were the only ones asked to move back, and of course, at that time we could only find seats in the back. Otherwise, it was an unforgettable experience.
