An evening full of sound, faith, and Franciscan memory
This church music festival at St. Mary’s Church in Hof combines spiritual music, word, and memory into a special faith experience. On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi, an evening is created that sensitively brings together spirituality, liturgy, and musical tradition. St. Francis of Assisi is remembered in the Catholic Church on October 4; his life still stands for simplicity, peace, and closeness to creation.

Sound space of history
St. Mary’s Church in Hof is not only a sacred place but also a historically significant space of church music. The church was built in 1864 in the neo-Gothic style; its organ is one of the special historical instruments of the Hof ecclesiastical space. The festival continues this tradition and places the organ as a cult instrument at the center of a vibrant community and faith experience.

Francis, word, and Franciscan spirituality
The evening takes up the Franciscan message: God’s closeness in simplicity, respect for creation, and an open heart for the community. The commemorative horizon for Francis of Assisi gives the program a spiritual depth that goes beyond the concert format and connects music with theology and pastoral care.
