Fascinated by the organ in all its variations, Guy-Baptiste Jaccottet (1998) studied in the organ class of Benjamin Righetti (HEMU-Lausanne) and improvisation class of Paul Goussot (CRR Rueil Malmaison).
Titular organist in La Tour-de-Peilz, he also teaches organ at the Conservatoire de Lausanne. His love of the performing arts and cinema led him to be appointed organist at the Théâtre Barnabé, where a major restoration project is currently underway. Since 2023, he is the artistic director of the Organopole foundation in Lausanne. As a soloist, cinemaorganist or as part of an ensemble, Guy-Baptiste gives around forty concerts a year in Switzerland and Europe, enjoying each musical encounter with a new instrument.
As a teacher, concert performer, church musician and programmer, he is deeply committed to the development of his instrument, composing pedagogical pieces, writing and transcribing for the organ, and always seeking new ways to make the organ more accessible.
Fond of novelty, but also respectful of tradition, he was awarded First Prize and Audience Prize in the Flauto Dolce international composition competition (2016), the Casino Barrière Foundation’s Grant for Talent and Creativity (2019), the Kinder an die Orgel association’s Pedagogical Composition Prize (2020) and the Max D. Jost Foundation Prize (2023).
