Notre Dame Cathedral – one of Paris’s most recognizable landmarks, more than 850 years old, a Unesco World Heritage site, one the world’s finest gothic cathedrals.

It’s a place that’s sparked the imagination of many, including Victor Hugo. His novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame is simply titled in the original French, Notre Dame de Paris.

Olivier Latry is one of Notre Dame’s organistes titulaires, a teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, and in demand internationally as a concert organist.

Olivier Latry talks to Upbeat about his work at Notre Dame.
