Journées européennes du patrimoine : concert d'orgue à l'église Saint-Laurent

Architectures and sound aesthetics: two organs to (re)discover
Organ concert by Antoine Joly

As part of the European Heritage Days, and following the guided tours of the organ loft at Saint-Henri church, Orguissimo invites you to a concert by a young organist from Lyon, Antoine Joly, at Saint-Laurent church on the Ott/Marconnet organ.
The programme includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gottfried-August Homilius and Dietrich Buxtehude.
Built in 1972 by the organbuilder Paul Ott in Neheim (a district of the town of Arnsberg in Germany), the organ was sold to the town of Le Creusot and rebuilt and harmonised by the organbuilder Denis Marconnet to suit the acoustics of the church and in the spirit of North German organs. It was inaugurated on 4 and 5 June 2022.
This event will be preceded by guided tours of the organ in the church of Saint-Henri, built by Charles Didier Van Caster in 1903 and featuring a completely different symphonic aesthetic.
