Plein-Jeu à Saint-Séverin

 

March 8, 2024, commemorated a significant day for Saint-Séverin: exactly 60 years before — on March 8, 1964 — the great organ was blessed and inaugurated following extensive reconstruction work led by Alfred Kern and Philippe Hartmann, under the guidance of Michel Chapuis, who became the new titular organist. Particularly innovative in the musical and patrimonial context of the time, these efforts marked a milestone in the modern history of Parisian organs, reviving sounds unheard since the 18th century.

​​​

Following the exceptional season celebrating the 60th anniversary of the reconstruction of the organ of Saint-Séverin, the organists and the association Plein-Jeu à Saint-Séverin have programmed a new season that will last until June 2026, highlighting young talents.

​​​

Every fourth Saturday of the month will offer an opportunity to experience the richness of this organ, listening to organists of all generations, including young talents and renowned personalities long associated with our organ.
