Please join us on Nov. 3, 2026, for the Great Organists at Stetson concert featuring Johann Vexo.

Johann Vexo was born French city of Nancy–a city close to the borders of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. Surrounded and influenced by the rich musical and cultural heritage of that region of France, Johann’s training and performance career developed so rapidly that at age 25 he was appointed Organiste de Choeur (Choir Organist) at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. He is now Organiste titulaire of the Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Cathedral in Nancy and Professor of Organ at the Superior Music Academy in Strasbourg. His approach to playing results in dynamic and elegant music-making, “the kind you feel as well as hear, and in riveting performances where this is no notion of organ playing as dull or dutiful or pompous.” (Dallas Morning News)
