Built by: Casavant Frères (2013) - opus 3896
In 2013, Casavant Frères completed a new concert organ for the Salle Jaoul-Robin at the Palais Montcalm in Québec. The starting point for the specification was an organ in the style of Gottfried Silbermann, suitable for playing together with an orchestra, and with an organ case designed in a style that would be appropriate for the Art-Déco style of the hall. The organ is built with three manuals and pedal and 50 stops, including eight transmissions. On October 4, 2013, the organ has been inaugurated with a concert by Richard Paré.
