Скачать или смотреть FutureStops S2 Ep31 - Orgues Letourneau, the 3rd installment of our Organ Building Series

The FutureStops Festival is coming up, live and online, September 29–October 1 2022. Go to futurestops.org for the full line up.

For episode three of our Canadian Organ Builders series, we visit the workshop of Orgues Letourneau. The Orgues Letourneau workshop is a pipe organ factory housed in a former water treatment plant in sleepy Ste.-Hyacunthe, Quebec.

Fernand Letourneau started the company in 1979 by building a six-rank pipe organ in his basement, and from those humble beginnings the company has built an international reputation for their distinctive sound and artistry.

We speak with Andrew Forrest, who is the Vice President and Artistic Director at Letourneau and plays a key role in the balancing act between old world tradition and new world technology.
