Bienvenue!

Come join us at The 14th Annual French Organ Music Festival on Sunday, August 23, 2026, starting at 2:00 PM at The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Kansas City, MO. Free admission. Suggested donation $10. Prepare to be mesmerized by the enchanting compositions of French organ music performed by talented musicians. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of France as you listen to the beautiful sounds echoing through the cathedral, live video from the organ loft, and visual presentations about the composers and the music performed. Come and be captivated by the music's beauty, the Cathedral's ambiance, and the company of fellow music lovers. Our Festival's motto is: Venez quand vous pouvez, restez aussi longtemps que vous voulez, partez quand il vous le faut. Come when you can, stay as long as you want, and leave when you must. Most audience members stay for the entire three-hour festival. We look forward to seeing you at this very special annual event.

This year, in addition to our organ pieces, we will feature two choirs, St. Andrew’s under the direction of Dr. Tom Vozzella and Cathedral Schola under the direction of Dr. Mario Pearson accompanied on the organ by Dr. Jacob Hofeling and Fr. Paul Turner. Returning this year on the organ will be Dr. Jan Kraybill, Dr. Beth Elswick and two other organists to be announced soon.

The Festival features a live video feed from the organ console, including program notes about the performers and composers. It is an event for organists, music enthusiasts, and those curious about the pipe organ.
