Cauchefer-Choplin & Laurent Coulondre On The Organ

A CINEMATIC ODYSSEY BETWEEN THE GREAT ORGAN AND THE HAMMOND ORGAN

Embark on a cinematic journey as two iconic organists join forces for the firsttime, exploring the most enchanting film scores: the charismatic Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin, titular organist at Saint-Sulpice home to the largest organ in Europe, and Laurent Coulondre, a captivating Hammond organ practitioner who has been scouring the international jazz scene for over ten years.

United by their unparalleled virtuosity, insatiable curiosity, and profound desire to connect, these two artists, who crossed paths last December, are set to enchant audiences with beloved melodies such as Le Mépris (George Delerue), Dernier Domicile Connu (François de Roubaix), The Mission, and The Professional (Ennio Morricone). Infused with the spirit of jazz, their performance will blend improvisation and inspired back-to-back solos, accompanied by clarinettist Aurélie Tropez and drummer Julie Saury. Experience the mesmerising dialogue between the Great Organ and the Hammond Organ, as witnessed during last edition’s unforgettable concert

This new and extraordinary collaboration will merge jazz and classical music with both power and grace, offering a grand and unforgettable experience! The event specially created for the festival, will feature live filming of the organists' performances, broadcasted on a giant screen for all to enjoy.
