Benjamin Alard, organ (France)
La Mission Saint-Charles Choir

Among the massive output of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, his organ works, in which chorals, fugues and complex polyphonies melt into a pure and perfect music, occupies a privileged place. Young French organ virtuoso Benjamin Alard, award winner of several international competitions, is proposing a journey through the most beautiful works of this corpus, performing Bach’s Clavierübung III, the Dogma in Music. The choir La Mission Saint-Charles, under its director Pierre Lavoie, will dialogue with the organ, singing the transcending faith of these great organ chorals.
