Lucile Dollat Cavaillé-Coll organ

The organ of the Royaumont Abbey is a true “historical monument”, recognized as such by the Ministry of Culture. With its 2,573 gleaming pipes and its shiny oak case, it dazzles as much by its appearance as by the range of sounds it can produce. The instrument was designed in 1864 by the greatest French organ builder, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, for the villa of a rich industrialist on the shores of Lake Geneva. Bought by the pianist François Lang (brother-in-law of the creator of the Royaumont Foundation, Henry Goüin), it was installed in 1936 in the monks’ refectory and inaugurated the same year during a concert that prefigured the Festival to come. Since then, hundreds of young instrumentalists have been able to train on this exceptional instrument. Lucile Dollat, winner of the Foundation’s award, learned all the subtleties of her three keyboards and her innumerable stops during a training course given by Thomas Lacôte. At barely 25 years of age, she took over from this master and became, for three years, titular of the organ of the abbey. Don’t miss the first solo concert of his residency…
