On October 16, 2026, the Hof Symphony Orchestra invites you to the 2nd Symphony Concert “Percussion Fire” in the Festsaal of Freiheitshalle Hof.

The concert begins at 7:30 PM; a concert introduction will take place at 6:30 PM.
An Evening that Breathes Rhythm
When percussion not only sets accents but also electrifies the entire space, a special live atmosphere is created, making a symphony concert unforgettable. Vivi Vassileva is considered an extraordinary talent of her generation: early nurtured, as the youngest member of the Federal Youth Orchestra, award-winning, and with a repertoire that combines classical virtuosity and sonic curiosity. Her performance blends precision, energy, and subtle colors – a concert experience that oscillates between drive and contemplation.
Stravinsky, Dorman, Rachmaninoff: Three Paths to Great Form
Igor Stravinsky’s Symphonies d’instruments à vent opens the program with clearly outlined wind sounds and a formally idiosyncratic yet compelling architecture. Avner Dorman's Frozen in Time takes us further into a world of imaginary earth history: South Indian rhythms, jazz, tango, swing, and hints of Mozart condense into a colorful sound dramaturgy. The conclusion features Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, a late romantic masterpiece full of rhythmic sharpness, dark brilliance, and orchestral tension.
Freiheitshalle Hof: Centrally Located and Easily Accessible
The Festsaal of Freiheitshalle is located in a central downtown area on Kulmbacher Strasse, near the train station and pedestrian zone. There are numerous parking options available at the Freiheitshalle and in the adjacent Volksfestplatz, including designated accessible parking spaces. The Freiheitshalle stop is served by city bus lines 1, 2, and 11; additionally, the Agilis train stops at Hof-Neuhof directly across from the hall. The entrance area is accessible at ground level.
Why This Concert is Particularly Worthwhile
This program combines orchestral sophistication with bodily force and refined sound direction. The Hof Symphony Orchestra relies on a blend of tradition and modern energy, which resonates particularly intensely in the acoustics of the Festsaal.
