Sacré-Coeur

Parisian organs restored by Jurine

Sacre-Coeur (2025-2027)
As workshop supervisor and voicer for the firm Renaud in Nantes from 1991 to 1997, Michel Jurine (*1953) oversaw the restorations and renovations of the following organs: Saint Sulpice , Saint-Roch and Saint Laurent in Paris. In 1997, he founded his own workshop in Francheville. The company grew rapidly and relocated in 2000 to Rontalon. Its two main areas of activity are the restoration of significant instruments and the construction of new organs: around 50 restorations (in France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain), mainly 19th-century instruments by Cavaillé-Coll and Merklin, the building of 13 new organs (including four for South Korea—Seoul, Daegu, Mokpo, and Andong—one for the Stuttgart University of Music, and another currently under construction for South Korea). In 2024, Michel Jurine handed over the company to his three principal collaborators: Nicolas Clément, Adrien Parret, and Mathieu Delmas. Michel Jurine also studied organ with Louis Robilliard (gold medal with unanimous distinction at the Conservatoire régional de Lyon) and Baroque music with Pierre Perdigon. He wrote a dissertation on the organ builder Joseph Merklin and 19th-century French organ building (Klincksieck), as well as a technical study on Barker pneumatic machines (ISO Yearbook 1994/1995), and led workshops on the voicing of the French Basson-Hautbois stop. He completed his training in woodwork with the age-old guild of The Compagnons du Tour de France. In 2024, he was appointed Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres; the French Ministry of Culture thus recognized his contribution to the international dissemination of French organ culture. He is currently restoring the organ of the Sacre-Coeur (2025-2027).
