The work for protection of the organ against water and fire is still in progress. The authority for historical monuments has lost us more than one year with various vetos and discussions. In a meeting in October 2022 they have finally promised a solution for January 2023. We are working together with the French organ journal « Orgues nouvelles » for a new publication of Aurélie Decourt’s big book with Jehan Alain’s letters and drawings and hope to have it ready for June 2023.

With great sorrow, we have to announce the sudden death, on December 7, 2021 at age 85, of Lise Alain Delamare, first daughter of Jehan Alain. She was a wonderful, elegant person and everybody loved her deeply. We will come back later on these sad news, which we share with her family.
