Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Francis Jacob (Saverne, July 4, 1972) is a French organist and harpsichordist.
Francis Jacob began the practice of the young organ. He was only thirteen when he replaced the organist of Saessolsheim, who had fallen ill. He studied organ with Sylvain Ciaravolo and André Stricker in Strasbourg and Jean Boyer in Lyon. He studied harpsichord with Aline Zylberajch in Strasbourg and with Jan-Willem Jansen in Toulouse, and bass with Martin Gester in Strasbourg and Jesper Christensen in Basel.

He holds the certificate of aptitude for teaching the organ and the certificate of aptitude for the duties of professor specializing in early music.

Among the distinctions he obtained, the first prize of the Guilmant competition in Boulogne-sur-Mer (in 1988) and the first organ prize of the Festival of Early Music in Bruges (in 1997) are to be noted.

Francis Jacob taught organ and harpsichord at the Perpignan Conservatory, the Toulouse Conservatory and the Montauban Conservatory. Since 2001 he is professor of organ and basso continuo at the conservatory of Strasbourg.

He performs as a soloist on the organ and harpsichord, and in chamber and orchestral music, in particular with the Ricercar Consort, The Royal Concert, Gli Angeli, and other ensembles.

He is very interested in organ building, which he practices with Bernard Aubertin in Courtefontaine.

He is still the organist of Saessolsheim, where he succeeded, with the help of the Association of the Friends of the Saessolsheim organ, to enrich the church with a new Aubertin organ, which has boosted the cultural life from the village.
