Bernard Hédin

At the same time as his secondary studies, Bernard Hédin entered the CNR in Lille and then the organ class of Michel Chapuis at the CNR in Besançon. He obtained several gold medals and awards for improvement in these two establishments (organ, musical training, writing). In 1984, he participated alongside Pierre Host and Philippe Lefebvre in the establishment of a regional policy in favour of the organ in Nord Pas-de-Calais. He created and coordinated the inventory of the 526 organs of this region: two volumes were published in the heritage books (Pas-de-Calais and Flanders). He organized the first national organ days in Lille, created the Alexandre Guilmant organ competitions in Boulogne-sur-Mer, de Wasquehal, and set up the «Les orgues chantent en Pas-de-Calais» season.
