G.B. Lingiardi & Fils organ, 1847
Guy-Baptiste Jaccottet, organ
From traditional dances of the German-speaking part of Switzerland to his own compositions, not forgetting a few famous opera arias transcribed for the organ for the occasion, and a few must-see pages from the early organ repertoire, he offers a 4-part menu sure to satiate your ears.

Guy-Baptiste Jaccottet, born in 1998, is fascinated by the organ in all its facets. He studied organ at the HEMU in Lausanne and improvisation at the CRR in Rueil-Malmaison. Titular organist at the Temple de La Tour-de-Peilz, he is also organ professor at the Conservatoire de Lausanne and, since 2023, artistic director of the Organopole foundation in Lausanne. A lover of the performing arts and cinema, he is responsible for the organ at the Théâtre Barnabé. As a soloist, film-concertist or member of an ensemble, Guy-Baptiste gives some forty concerts a year...
