The Toulouse International Organ Competition invites talented organists under the age of 30 to highlight the Toulouse organs of different aesthetics and eras.
Its ambition: to encourage the design of artistically coherent programs, linked to a particular instrument, and having the concern of promoting the organ to audiences.
Each candidate thus creates a musical program for the instrument of their choice, and plays extracts from it during the various selection tests.
