Fewer concerts and a different offer for organs in Signelégier

Created to enhance this unique neoclassical instrument in the Jura. In addition, an organ in Signelégier could refocus its program around the organ, with for example guided tours before concerts or brief conferences to explain its content: “The idea is to bring an educational dimension to our project.”

Pending the realization of this new orientation, two concerts will still be offered this semester, each “conceived as a highlight”. For example, The first will take place this Sunday at 5 p.m., and will see Pascal Reber, organist holder of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg cathedral.

Trained in Mulhouse, Strasbourg and Sarrebruck, he studied in particular with Daniel Roth, Michel Chapuis and Louis Robilliard. Similarly, He led a concert career in France and abroad, and has taught the organ for many years. Its program will honor the great French repertoire of the 19th. 20th centuries, with works by Tournemire, fewer concerts different offer organs Vierne, Dupré, Duruflé, Messiaen, one of its own compositions (Triptych final), and will conclude with an improvisation.
