Description

Though American by birth, Lynne Davis’ career has been steeped in French music, culture, and style. After taking First Prize at the 1975 St. Albans International Organ Competition in England, she has performed in nearly every cathedral in France, numerous major cities throughout Europe, and from coast to coast in the United States and Canada. From the late 1970’s until 2006, Lynne Davis made France her home, having married Frenchman and Chartres International Organ Competition founder Pierre Firmin-Didot. Her unique living, vast working experience, and her lineage of study in France makes her an authority in all French organ repertoire. Awarded by the Republic of France, she holds the coveted Certificat d’Aptitude de Professeur d’Orgue. A highly regarded teacher, she served as organ professor at the Conservatory of Music in Clamart, near Paris, from 1990−2006 and from 1997−2006 at the French National Regional Conservatory in Caen.
