Olivier Latry, titular organist of Notre-Dame de Paris, is one of the leading ambassadors for his instrument and a direct descendant in the line of French organ virtuosi. His programme includes great Romantic transcriptions and music by some of his famous predecessors in that tradition, including Charles-Marie Widor and Louis Vierne (who actually died at the keyboard of Notre Dame). Latry is an extraordinary improvisor, and the concert will end with an improvisation on a theme submitted by the audience, sure to be dazzling.

Established as the leading ambassador for his instrument, French organist Olivier Latry has performed in the world’s most prestigious venues, been the guest of top orchestras throughout the world with renowned conductors, recorded with major labels, and premiered an impressive number of works. Appointed as titular organist at Notre-Dame in Paris at the age of 23, and Organist Emeritus at Orchestre National de Montréal since 2012, Olivier Latry is an accomplished, thoughtful and adventurous musician, exploring all possible fields of organ music, with an exceptional talent as an improviser.
