info

The young French musician Alma Bettencourt is what you call an overachiever. She is equally successful as an organist and pianist, she has won numerous awards and scholarships and has been the house organist of Radio France in Paris since September 2025. For her debut at the Philharmonie Berlin, she has designed a top-class program that combines French and German Romantic compositions. In addition to well-known works by Widor and Franck, Liszt's tremendous Fantasia and Fugue about “Ad nos ad salutarem undam” can also be heard.
