The organ at the Abbey Church of Sainte-Croix, Bordeaux

François Bedos de Celles, Benedictine monk, theoretician and organ builder-built during the 18th century a great 16ft. organ in the Abbey Church of Ste-Croix, Bordeaux. This outstanding instrument, a listed historical organ has come to us after the vicissitudes of time in a very bad condition, but relatively intact.

The perfect restauration of this unique masterpiece left to us by the genial monk, was carried out in the organbuilding workshop of Pascal Quoirin. The case as well as the instrument itself could eventually display their former splendour. The completion of this rehabilitation was celebrated in May 1997.

The concept of an Academy and an Interpretation Competition basically centered on the french Classical Organ Music was immediatly adopted. The Academy will take place every two years; the Interpretation competition will be held every four years alterning with a Composition.

François ESPINASSE, professor of organ to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, is the permanent artistic adviser of Association for the organization of these activities.
