Description
Take a bird’s-eye view and enjoy exclusive access to the gallery of the Rinckenbach Great Organ at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
During this guided tour, the organ builder who helped restore the organ in 2021 will reveal the secrets of this impressive instrument. You’ll learn how it works, get a close-up look at its 3,084 pipes, and hear some of its 49 stops, including the rare “human voice” stop.
Récit, positive, windchest… Behind the grand organ lies a whole vocabulary and body of expertise that you’ll learn to understand. A unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of an instrument that’s heard far more often than it’s seen.
Group limited to 20 people, subject to availability. The guided tour begins at 2:00 p.m. Please note: access is via a spiral staircase.
