The I Biennial of Organs and Sacred Art features a concert, today, at the Church of Cedofeita, at 9.30pm, and one of the highlights is the participation of Notre-Dame organist Olivier Latry.

The Parish of São Martinho de Cedofeita commemorates its pipe organ 20th anniversary, which will be played by French organist Latry, who is in charge of the Notre Dame Pipe Organs.

The Great Pipe Organ of the Church of Cedofeita was built by the Swiss firm Orgelbau Kuhn AG, and Olivier Latry will perform his own pieces as well as pieces by Claude-Bénigne Balbastre, César Franck, Johann-Sebastian Bach, Gaston Litaize, Jean Langlais, Olivier Messiaen and Marcel Dupré.

The concert is entrance free, upon previous collection of the ticket, between 8pm and 9pm.

The programme also includes three other concerts in 2020, namely in March, June and November.
