Georges Danion

The premises included a large assembly room, joinery workshops and casting of tin where the entire metal pipe for the new organs could be manufactured.

In 1988, the Gonzalez-Danion sold their Rambervillers company and settled in Lodève where they worked on the construction or reconstruction of the organs of St. Esteve in Andorra-la-Vielle, St. Vincent of Carcassonne, St. Paul of Clermont-L'Hérault, the restoration of instruments in the cathedrals of Béziers and Carcassonne, Lodève, the churches Our Lady of La Ciotat, St Peter's Prades, Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste, as well as the reconstruction of the organ in the Church of St. Sauveur Aix-en-Provence (39 stops) and restored those of St. Peter's in Ceret (36 stops) and Ste-Bernadette Montpellier (13 stops).

In February 1992, George Danion was invited by the university of Denton, Texas to give a conference on organ building at a gathering of some two hundred organists, with Marie-Claire Alain, Marie-Madeleine Duruflé, Marie-Louise Langlais, and Jacqueline Marchal.

In the preface to the inauguration program of the Meaux Cathedral organ rebuilt by Danion in 1980, Olivier Messiaen honored his art: "The Meaux Cathedral, of which the great BOSSUET was the bishop, needed a large organ whose timbres were capable of expressing religious voices of past centuries and contemporary times.

They have just completed a synthesis instrument on which it will be possible to play FRESCOBALDI and Nicolas de Grigny, as well as JS BACH, romantics and masters of the 20th century, like DUPRÉ.
