Le fonctionnement du stage d’orgue change cette année : les stagiaires choisissent (dès leur inscription leur groupe qui se consacrera à plusieurs séances sur un répertoire donné (baroque français ou baroque allemand ou romantique-symphonique). Ces séances auront lieu sur un instrument typé adapté (Marmoutier, Saessolsheim, Ettendorf) animées à chaque fois par le même professeur, et donneront lieu à une audition lors de la dernière séance, en présence de tous les organistes. Un quatrième groupe sera plus « à la carte », et pourra circuler dans les différentes séances proposées en dehors des 3 groupes institués, en particulier travailler avec Francis Jacob et Claude Roser.
