Opening recital: Norbert Petry

The organ was originally made in 1773 for Klausen Abbey in Germany by Romanus Benedictus Nollet. It was moved to Saint-Martin in Metz in 1804 and underwent several modifications and enlargements, including interventions by Daublaine & Callinet in1843, Jean-Frédéric Verschneider in1876 and Jean Blési in1895 before being entirely electrified by Roethinger. By 1990 it had fallen silent and it was not until fourteen years later, in 2004, that Jean-Baptiste Gaupillat carried out the minimum necessary to make it playable again before it was restored as closely as possible to its original state.
