1894 Abbey Frères  new organ
1961 Jean Hermann  rebuild
1994 Jean-Marc Cicchero  restoration
2019 Saverio Girotto  restoration and enlargement

  • The organ in the Église Sainte-Geneviève in Asnières-sur-Seine was built in 1893/1894 by John and Eugène Abbey. The instrument was overhauled in 1961 by Jean Hermann. The action was partly electrified. Marcel Dupré played the inauguration concert.
  • Jean-Marc Cicchero carried out a restoration in 1994. He reconstructed the original situation. However, a new restoration was needed, and in 2019 Saverio Girotto restored the instrument and enlarged it from 17 to 28 stops. On October 16, 2019, the organ was inaugurated with a concert by Domenico Severin, in co-operation with the Orchestra de Lutetia, conducted by Alejandro Sandler.
