Prologue of the film produced by the Council of Europe on the organ Here are a few words which describe the scale of the instrument which will be presented and explained to you. You can go to the console (where the keyboards and pedals are located), touch the instrument, but also hear the organ sing thanks to the music terminal (unique equipment in the world). And you won’t be at the end of your surprises! Who can imagine hearing Dalida, Brassens, Dassin or Gainsbourg performed on the organ? In Plaisance everything is possible! An eclectic musical choice, from Bach to Bourvil via Rossini, the organ reveals itself, coming out of the sacred and the liturgical to amaze young and old.
