In 1874, Édouard André was the first owner on Boulevard Haussmann to have a Cavaillé-Coll organ installed in his Hôtel particulier to install a Cavaillé-Coll organ in his Hôtel particulier. This enabled his wife, Nélie Jacquemart, to organize social musical evenings with numerous artists and intellectuals of the day, including Jules Massenet and Gustave Doré. Virtuoso organists were invited, including Louis Vierne and Marcel Dupré. For this concert, Gabriel Bestion de Camboulas on organ, accompanied by Benjamin Ortiz on violin and Stéphan Soeder on cello, will revive the spirit of these evenings, adding poetic and literary readings by authors from the same period, read by actress Alexandra Rübner.
The varied program features works by J.S. Bach, J. Rheinberger, L. Beethoven, C. Saint-Saëns, C. Franck, A. Piazzola and E. Villa-Lobos.
