Henri Ormieres was born in Carcassonne, in the south of France, and began to play the piano and the organ at an early age.

Following his sudies at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux with Francis Chapelet (Organ), this musician continued his scholarship in Paris with Patrice Holiner (Piano) and Blandine Verlet (Harpsichord).

At the same time, he studied the art of composition with Yvonne Desportes, and benefited from the advice of the organist François-Henri Houbart.

Henri Ormieres is Organist of Saint-Vincent’s Church in Carcassonne, and director of the Choeur Saint-Louis, a choir which he founded and frequently performs with.

He appears in concert with the Académie des Grandes Ecoles et Universités de Paris, the Choeur et Orchestre Vincent d’Indy, and the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse (concertos by Bach, Händel, Haydn, Poulenc, Guilmant, Saint-Saens Symphony N°3...).

Henri Ormieres has been regularly invited in France (Festival International de Lourdes, Festival de Musique Sacrée de Dax, Festival de Carcassonne, Festival de Saoû), as well as abroad (Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, USA).
