French Organ Music Seminar

Participants will leave from the U.S. on Monday, July 4th, arriving in Paris on the morning of July 5th. Go by shuttle or taxi to the seminar hotel, where you will meet your group leader and go in your small group by Métro (subway) to the first FOMS afternoon session. Booklets, name tags, group instructions, and subway passes will be distributed there.

This year FOMS will include wonderful hours spent with Daniel Roth at Saint-Sulpice and with Olivier Latry during the weekend masses at Notre-Dame. In addition, there will be master classes at the organs of Notre-Dame d’Auteuil, Chapelle Royale de Versailles, St. Gervais, the Duruflé apartment, and other churches. As part of the Cavaillé-Coll Festival, Daniel Roth will give a lecture on the life and work of the great organ builder.

Special, in­depth instruction will be given by Ben van Oosten at the church of St. Ouen in Rouen, and by Olivier Latry at the Conservatoire Supérieur in Paris.

Included in the price: a Paris Métro pass for the week, an air-conditioned hotel room, train travel to and from Rouen, all breakfasts, and entry to all venues.

Instructors include: Ben van Oosten, Marie-Louise Langlais, Daniel Roth, Christophe Mantoux, François Espinasse, Aude Huertematte, Frédéric Blanc, Susan Landale and others.
