This 13th edition of the festival once again confirms its standards of excellence, its penchant for new discoveries and for placing the most noble of instruments alongside choirs, orchestras and vocal and instrumental soloists while combining music with other arts (contemporary dance, cinema etc.). There will be close to 80 musical rendezvous: major recitals, lunchtime concerts, discovery trails, performances for young people, conferences, open-air dawn concerts and ‘regional days’.

Special events will include a homage to Jean Boyer in which his fellow-organists will lead you to discover the instruments of Toulouse that he loved so well; an invitation to all the organ’s ‘little brothers and sisters’ that will provide an opportunity to see and hear some unusual instruments in a series of unique performances (lira organizzata etc.); a week-end devoted to the Puget organ-building dynasty.

An exceptional exhibition about the Puget family will complete this 13th edition, in honour of a leading French family of organ builders.

A younger public will also be catered for, with two surprising musical performances at the Théâtre du Grand Rond.

We apologize for the incomplete translation of the various events.
