Olivier Latry

[4][5][6] In 1985, following the death of Pierre Cochereau, he became one of the four co-titular organists at Notre-Dame in Paris alongside Yves Devernay, Philippe Lefèbvre and Jean-Pierre Leguay.

[7][8][9] As a concert performer Latry has played in over 40 countries across five continents, in particular in the United States, where he gave his first recitals in 1986 at the invitation of the American Guild of Organists.

[10][11][12] On 7 December 2024 Latry was the first to play the organ of Notre-Dame in public during the reopening ceremony five years after the fire that damaged parts of the cathedral in 2019.

Influenced by his Catholic faith, he based his 2007 work for organ and choir, Salve Regina, a reflection on the Gregorian Marian hymn, on previous improvisations.

[14][15] In 2000 the Simone and Cino Del Duca Foundation awarded Latry its music prize, and in 2007 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists.
