French organist, improviser and composer Thomas Kientz excels in his field. The 34-year-old was already organist at Strasbourg Cathedral at the age of 22. He is currently titular organist of the great Kuhn organs in the Cathedral Basilica of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice, and has been a guest at prestigious festivals and released a number of critically acclaimed recordings. The public will be able to discover the virtuoso’s playing on a video screen. A carpet of sound waves and multiple sensations around Bach, Mendelssohn or his own improvisations.
