About Kirchenmusiktage Fürth

The Fürth Days of Sacred Music is an ecumenical festival of sacred music held in the historic churches of Fürth. Spread over several weeks in November and December, a diverse program of around a dozen concerts unfolds across approximately a dozen venues: from jazz organ to symphonic works and children's concerts, to choral music and organ recitals. Organized by the Fürth Church Music Association, the festival utilizes churches such as the Auferstehungskirche, St. Michael, Christkönig, St. Paul, Maria Magdalena, Unsere Liebe Frau, and St. Heinrich — transforming the 'Kleeblattstadt' (cloverleaf city) in Middle Franconia, Bavaria, into a center for sacred music every late autumn.

Sacred Music in Historic Churches

The Fürth Days of Sacred Music is an ecumenical festival that brings sacred music in its full spectrum to the historic churches of Fürth. Over several weeks in November and December, the program offers around a dozen concerts at various venues, combining church music tradition with artistic diversity.

From Organ Recital to Jazz Organ

The repertoire ranges from classical organ and choral music to symphonic concerts and more unusual formats like jazz organ and children's concerts. The festival traditionally opens with a "Night of Sounds" and concludes with a grand Advent choral and orchestral concert. Thus, it spans the period from late autumn into the Advent season.

Seven Churches as Stages

Several historic churches in Fürth serve as venues: Auferstehungskirche, St. Michael, Christkönig, St. Paul, Maria Magdalena, Unsere Liebe Frau, and St. Heinrich. Each venue contributes its own acoustics and atmosphere — from the Gothic city church to the modern community church.

Fürth — The Cloverleaf City in Middle Franconia

Fürth is an independent city in the state of Bavaria, directly bordering Nuremberg and part of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Known as the 'Kleeblattstadt' (cloverleaf city), it boasts a rich tradition of churches and civic life; the Days of Sacred Music build upon this heritage, making Fürth a destination for lovers of sacred music from across the region every late autumn.
