Hoffmann composed the march "La marche du Grand-Duc Henri", first performed at a special concert before the Grand Ducal family at the Grand Ducal Palace at 8 p.m. on October 7, 2000. In the darkness, the musicians of la musique militaire were surrounded by reserve soldiers bearing torches. Hoffmann was commissioned to compose the piece as part of the ceremonies for Grand Duke Jean’s abdication and Grand Duke Henry’s accession to the throne of Luxembourg.

A professor of music, Hoffman was influential in Luxembourg by founding the "Chorale Jong Lëtzebuerg", based on the model of Young Vienna and established in 1966. The choir has performed in front of royalty and on a visit to Vaduz was welcomed by the Prince of Liechtenstein. Hoffmann also served as honorary director of the St Cecilia Choir of Walferdange.

His daughter is mezzo-soprano Yannchen Hoffmann.

Hoffman died in 2007.
