"Don't whistle at the organist".

A whistler, Bertrand Causse, and an organist, Guy-Baptiste Jaccottet, in concert at Eglise Saint- Michel, Martigny Bourg: a first of its kind in Valais.

Whistling while working, or whistling in the shower... you've probably done it before! Bertrand Causse, violist, pianist, conductor, singer and whistler, has turned whistling into an art form, so much so that in 2018 he was crowned vice-champion of the world whistling championship. He is developing a brilliant career as a solo whistler, performing both contemporary and classical works. In collaboration with the Stanislas Quartet, he created the show "Siffler, n'est pas jouer", at the Centre Dramatique national de Nancy in October 2015. In it, he plays the curious character of a whistling musician-singer-performer. The show was also part of the Off program at the 2015 Avignon Festival. With pianist Christine Chareyron, he created "Ne sifflez pas sur la pianiste!" to mark International Women's Rights Day.

Passionate about the organ in all its facets, Guy-Baptiste Jaccottet (1998) studied in the classes of Benjamin Righetti (HEMU-Lausanne) and Paul Goussot (CRR Rueil Malmaison).

Titular organist at the La Tour-de-Peilz temple, he is also organ professor at the Lausanne Conservatory. His love of the cinema led him to take charge of the organ at the Théâtre Barnabé. Since 2023, he has been director of the Organopole foundation in St-François de Lausanne. As a soloist, film-concertist or ensemble musician, Guy-Baptiste gives some forty concerts a year in Switzerland and Europe.
