Taizé Evening at the Abbey Church of Želiv

Evening of silence and Taizé songs

We invite you to the Taizé evening at the Abbey Church of Želiv, which will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 8:00 PM. This evening will offer space for silence, calm, and meditative prayer, carried by simple Taizé chants, silence, and gentle light.

The program is based on the spiritual tradition of the ecumenical Taizé community and is intended for all who seek inner peace, spiritual reflection, and a quiet musical experience in a sacred space. Repeating chants, short biblical texts, and moments of silence allow for an evening experienced in deep concentration and openness.

The Taizé evening takes place in the Abbey Church within the Želiv Monastery complex. For those interested, this evening can be a natural continuation of the organ tour, which already takes place in the late afternoon at the monastery, providing a seamless transition from musical exploration to contemplation.

The gathering is open to the general public and suitable for individuals and groups.
