Dom Bedos organ of the Church of the Holy Cross
Dom Bedos organ of the Church of the Holy Cross, Historical pipe organ in Church of the Holy Cross, Bordeaux, France.
The organ contains forty-five stops distributed across five keyboards and a pedalboard, with rows of wooden and metal pipes mounted in an oak case.
Benedictine monk François Bedos de Celles constructed this pipe organ between 1744 and 1748, during a period of musical advancement in French ecclesiastical architecture.
The instrument serves as the centerpiece for an academic program dedicated to French classical music, including interpretation competitions and educational sessions.
Regular concerts take place in the church, with registration fees for the organ academy set at 240 euros for active participants and 140 euros for auditors.
The organ returned to its original location in 1970 after spending over 150 years in Saint-André Cathedral following the French Revolution requisition.
