Jean-Luc Perrot

Jean-Luc Perrot (born 1959 in Moulins) is a French organist, composer and musicologist.

Jean-Luc Perrot is agrégé of musicology, Doctor of literature and arts (musicology), lecturer at the École Supérieure du Professorat et de l'Éducation (former IUFM) of Saint-Étienne after being a lecturer at the Jean Monnet University of this same town, where he previously taught organology, accompaniment and free value Arts Lyriques. A pupil of Roland Meillier in piano at the conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Saint-Étienne (), he studied the pipe organ (an instrument he discovered at the age of 13 in 1972), under the leadership of Michel Chapuis, Jean Boyer, as part of Summer Academies. The holder of the historical organ Callinet (1837) of Notre-Dame in Saint-Étienne, his thesis on L'orgue en France de 1789 à 1860 led him to discover many forgotten sheet music. In January 2013, he was appointed to replace Henri Delorme on the François-Henri Clicquot organ in Souvigny, alongside Madeleine Cordez and Pierre Dubois. He is the author of several articles, analyzes, CD booklets, and historical notices. He also plays the harmonium, the harpsichord and the carillon.

His recordings L'Héritage de l'orgue classique, Suites et versets (on the organ of La Chaise-Dieu), Beauvarlet-Charpentier à Souvigny, Maîtres français du XVIIe à Pommiers en Forez (as harpsichordist), four-handed works on the large organ of the Cathedral of Rodez in the company of Georges Lartigau and recently a CD devoted to the unpublished works of Michel Corrette at La Chaise-Dieu showed his attachment to rare music scores. His last recording on the organ of Villerupt is devoted to a certain number of forgotten Romantic composers (Petrali, Smart, Brosig, La Tombelle, Becker). His concerts have taken him all over France but also in Italy, Poland, Germany, Spain and Canada. He has recently performed several improvisational experiments, notably in long sessions of accompanying silent films.
