ORGAN MANAGEMENT IN EUROPE SINCE 1990 • CD- AND DVD-LABEL

The picturesque medieaeval village of Romainmôtier has two remarkable organs, each of them with 4 manuals and pedal: the Lhôte organ in the magnificent Abbey church and the Alain family organ (45 stops), built from 1910 to 1971 by Albert Alain, the father of Jehan and Marie-Claire, restored in 1991 by Manufacture de Saint-Martin, successors of Georges Lhôte. Organ master classes are given there every summer since 1969. For personal practice, many smaller study organs are available in the surrounding villages. Accommodation: all possible standards – hotels, B&B, common residence. During the course, various concerts and common meals are organized. The lessons are given in various languages, as needed. English, German and French are standard.
