Three students from the Toulouse Conservatory will play the Montreal collegiate church on May 11.
On Sunday, May 11, throughout France, 1,000 young organists will give a concert in 100 cities, for the day of the organ, a national event organized by the association Orgue in France in partnership with local associations and music conservatories. In 2025, Organ in France set up the young organists, witnesses to the vitality of an instrument taught in nearly 200 organ classes, in cities of all sizes, which form thousands of passionate amateurs each year and future professionals.
Works of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries
The Association of Friends of the Organ and the Montreal collegiate church will welcome three young students from the Toulouse Conservatory who are intended for the organist profession. The Frenchman Eliott Bembekoff, from Saint-Étienne, has been studying the organ for three years at the Toulouse Conservatory, as well as chamber music and writing.
