The Maison symphonique's Organ

The Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique was made for the OSM, which owns the organ, and was inaugurated in May 2014. It was created by Casavant Frères, based in Saint-Hyacinthe, in collaboration with the architects Diamond Schmitt and Ædifica for visual design. It is a large organ intended for orchestral use, and is recorded in its builder’s books as Opus 3900. The Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique consists of 109 registers, 83 stops, 116 ranks and 6,489 pipes.

The Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique is rented separately from the Maison symphonique. Please contact the Place des Arts programming team to learn about the detailed terms depending on the type of use and type of event.

Purchase of this organ was made possible, courtesy of Mrs. Jacqueline Desmarais, who assumed the total cost and, in so doing, wished to keep alive the memory of the lasting contribution made by Mr. Pierre Béique to the OSM’s mission of excellence.
