The Toulouse International Organ Festival has been celebrating the rich history and unique sound of the organ for 30 years. This event takes place annually in Toulouse, a city in southern France, and turns it into a global hub for organ lovers for ten days each year. The festival is known for its exceptional collection of organs, which are played by musicians from around the world. It continues to evolve by connecting traditional organ music with contemporary and experimental styles, drawing in both longtime enthusiasts and new audiences. The organ, often seen as an early form of a synthesizer, has long been used for sound experimentation and emotional expression. The festival highlights the work of virtuoso performers, composers, and especially female composers, who play a key role in connecting the public with the instrument. Each year, the event offers a varied program that spans classical, baroque, symphonic, Occitan (a regional culture in southern France), meditative, and modern musical styles. It brings together organists with other musicians, including women, and features both established stars and emerging artists. The programming of the festival is carefully crafted, with attention to every detail. For the 2026 edition, the festival will mark the return of a significant instrument: the symphonic organ of the Notre-Dame du Taur church. This organ was built by the renowned Puget family, a famous dynasty of organ builders from Toulouse. The return of this instrument is a highlight of the event, as it is expected to create a powerful resonance in the church’s grand vaults and in the hearts of attendees. The 2026 Toulouse International Organ Festival will take place from October 7 to 18 under the title Toulouse: A Story of Organs. This edition aims to celebrate the city's deep connection with the organ and its musical heritage, offering a unique and immersive experience for all who attend.
