Concert d'orgue caritatif au profit de la rénovation de l'église Art déco St Jean Bosco

The Saint-Jean-Bosco church, an Art Deco gem in the 20th arrondissement, hosts a classical organ concert. This charity evening is organised for its renovation, offering a unique opportunity to discover its instrument in a remarkable architectural setting.

This concert highlights the organ of the Saint-Jean-Bosco church, an instrument often unknown to the general public, but whose sound resonates in a particular way within the acoustics of a religious building. Classical organ music, rich and varied, covers several centuries of composition, from Bach's baroque works to Franck's or Widor's romantic pieces, offering an expressive palette ranging from majestic grandeur to meditative delicacy. The repertoire presented during these charity evenings is generally chosen for its ability to showcase the different facets of the instrument.

Attending an organ concert is a unique experience. The organist, often alone on stage, manipulates a complex instrument, a true orchestra in itself. The power of the basses, the clarity of the trebles, and the richness of the timbres create an enveloping atmosphere, conducive to listening and contemplation. These events are also an opportunity to (re)discover the interior of the Saint-Jean-Bosco church, whose Art Deco architecture by Joseph Folléa and Paul Hulot, with its frescoes and stained glass windows, offers a singular visual and acoustic setting.

The target audience includes classical music lovers, curious individuals eager to discover the organ, and all those who wish to support the preservation of Parisian heritage. The atmosphere is respectful and contemplative, yet always warm, highlighting the exceptional nature of these musical moments. It is an invitation to appreciate music in a place steeped in history and architecture.
