Diego Innocenzi holds the organs of the Victoria Hall and the temples of Vandoeuvres and Saint-Gervais in Geneva. He also teaches organ at the Geneva Conservatory of Music. Born in Argentina in 1971, Diego Innocenzi began his musical studies in Buenos Aires where he obtained a piano degree and held the Cavaillé-Coll organ of the cathedral of San Isidro, his hometown. He continued his training at the Geneva Conservatory of Music in the class of Lionel Rogg where he won a first prize for virtuosity in 1999 and then with Marie-Claire Alain in Paris. He then entered the choral conducting class of Michel Corboz at the Geneva Conservatory of Music, where he obtained the Diploma of Choir Conductor in 2003. For many years, Diego Innocenzi has conducted research on the historical interpretation of sacred music and organ repertoire of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that led him to give lectures and master classes in Europe and the United States. These investigations led to several recordings of works mostly unpublished for the Aeolus label: complete works for organ and motets by César Franck in two volumes in collaboration with Les solistes-de-Lyon-Bernard Tétu; double album of unpublished works for organ by Edouard Batiste; chamber music with organ by Théodore Dubois. In order to renew the form of organ and sacred music concerts, he organized the Autumn Festival in Vandoeuvres dedicated to chamber music with organ (2002-2010), cycles of choral cults and cantata cults, organ marathons during the Geneva Music Festival, a Psalm Festival as part of Calvin-09 and shows combining contemporary dance, video projection and organ. Diego Innocenzi has performed worldwide, in Europe, the United States, Latin America and Russia. He is currently artistic director of the Chamonix Organ Festival.

The cathedral basilica of Saint-Denis, a former royal abbey, illuminated centuries during the artistic, political and spiritual history of the Middle Ages. It rises to the site of the burial of Denis, first bishop of Paris, martyred around 250\. Abbé Suger, friend of King Louis VI, advisor to King Louis VII and regent of France for two years, had the Carolingian abbey rebuilt from 1135 to 1144\. This first monumental masterpiece of Gothic art is conceived as an immense reliquary dedicated to light and destined to venerate the relics of Saint Denis. In 1231, Saint Louis completed the building. Nicknamed the "Lucerna", the lantern, because of its brightness, the 13th century basilica is a major work of Gothic art, endowed with a transept of an exceptional magnitude intended to accommodate the royal tombs. Having become one of the principal necropolises of the Merovingian aristocrats and Carolingian sovereigns, the powerful Benedictine abbey definitively links its destiny to that of the r
