Rencontre interclasses d'orgue des Hauts-de-France autour du répertoire du Grand Siècle et du Siècle des Lumières français.

L'objectif majeur de ces journées est de permettre à des élèves venus de toute la région de se confronter à des orgues historiques français remarquables du territoire, de faire des échanges de classes, d'avoir un temps de partage et d'enseignement à la fois au clavier et aussi plus historique et musicologique, même pour les plus jeunes.

A l'issue de ces 2 journées, une audition sera donnée à l'Eglise St-Martin d'Auxi-le-Château.

Saint Martin

Considered one of the most beautiful churches in Artois and Picardy, the church of Saint-Martin dominates the town and the Authie valley from the ‘quartier de la Montagne’, built on the spur where Thierry d'Alsace, Count of Flanders, erected a castle in 1178, around which the first town was built.

The first church was destroyed in 1493. Construction of the current church began in the 16th century in the flamboyant Gothic style. Despite the many destructions caused by the Wars of Religion and the Thirty Years' War, and despite several reconstructions, the church remains a masterpiece.

The imposing quadrangular tower, topped by a domed octagonal roof structure and crowned by a spire, invites visitors to climb the steps and discover an impressive interior.

Apart from the presence of a few remarkable items of furniture, such as the organ, the confessionals and the little cherubs, the nave appears bare, contrasting with the rich architectural decoration of the vaults in the nave and the side chapels.

The church has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1910.
