Jean-Pierre Leguay

He studied with André Marchal, Gaston Litaize, Rolande Falcinelli (organ), Simone Plé-Caussade (counterpoint), and Olivier Messiaen (composition), before serving as titular organist at Notre-Dame-des-Champs, Paris from 1961 to 1984.

In 1985 he was named a titular organist at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, alongside Olivier Latry, Yves Devernay and Philippe Lefebvre.

He has also been in charge of improvisation courses in Paris at the Centre d’Action Liturgique et Musical (1985-1988) and at the Conservatoire Erik Satie du 7e arrondissement.

Internationally recognized as a concert organist, composer and improviser—not only at the organ, but also as a pianist and in ensemble—Jean-Pierre Leguay pursues a triple career throughout Europe, Canada, the United States, and Asia.

The recording of his Missa Deo Gratias and his Sonates II and III were recognized with a “Choc” award from Le Monde de la Musique magazine.
