Saint-Amant-de-Boixe Abbey
Construction of a Renaissance organ for Saint-Amant-de-Boixe Abbey
The organ was delivered and installed the week before Christmas 2011.
The doors were painted by the talented Jean-Marie Cousset.
The magnificent sculptures are by Marc Frohn.
Built after the primitive Alkmaar organ (1511), this 10-stop organ will allow you to discover the European music of the 16th century. It is tuned in mesotonic temperament.
We invite you to follow the remarkable work being done by the Dom Rémi Carré association to showcase this instrument.
