Organ Talk: Thomas Ospital

MARIINSKY.TV presents a new series of interviews, devoted to probably the most mystical instrument in the world - organ. The first edition features Thomas Ospital (France) whose recital on January, 15, opened the VIII international organ festival "Mariinsky". The first "Organ Talk" covered a wide range of subjects: role of the music during the pandemic, French organ tradition, the nature of improvisation and, of course, the other important character of the series - the organ "Alfred Kern et Fils" in the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky.
:: Born in 1990 in Ayherre (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), Thomas Ospital began his musical studies аt the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel in Bayonne, France. There he studied organ with Esteban Landart, completing his studies in 2008 with unanimous recognition of his high level of achievement. From 2008 until 2015 he was a student аt the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris. His teachers included Olivier Latry, Michel Bouvard, Thierry Escaich, Philippe Lefebvre, László Fassang, Isabelle Duha, Pierre Pincemaille and Jean-François Zygel. The conservatoire awarded him first-place prizes in organ, improvisation, harmony, counterpoint and fugue studies.
In 2015 the Église Saint-Eustache located in the centre of Paris and home to France’s largest pipe organ appointed him one of its two organists. From 2016 to 2019 he was the first organist in residence of the new organ built by Grenzing in the Maison de la Radio in Paris. Since 2017 Thomas Ospital has been teaching harmony аt the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris. He performs frequently in various countries as a soloist and with choruses and orchestras. With a keen interest in perpetuating the art of improvisation in all its forms, including both liturgical and secular, he displays his talents in accompanying silent films. ::
