Created for the 800th Jubilee Year of St. Francis’ death, Francis is a monumental new dramatic oratorio honoring the life, spirit, and enduring legacy of St. Francis of Assisi. Through music, voice, and light, the work reflects Francis’ call to peace, care for creation, solidarity with the poor, reverence across faiths and cultures, and the recognition of women as vital spiritual leaders. Conceived in Latin and English, Francis speaks powerfully to our own time – inviting believers and non-believers alike into a shared experience of reflection, hope, and renewal.
