Born in 2002 in Jena, Germany, Alexis Grizard began his musical studies on the piano at the age of 10 and discovered the organ a year later in Philippe Brandeis’s class at the Cergy-Pontoise Regional Conservatory (CRR).

Between 2020 and 2025, he studied the organ (with Michel Bouvard, Olivier Latry, Thomas Ospital, and Wolfgang Zerer during an Erasmus exchange) and musical writing (with Fabien Waksman, Thibaud Perrine, and Thierry Escaich) at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP).

Starting in September 2025, he studies improvisation with Thierry Escaich and László Fassang at the same institution, and continues his organ studies in Martin Schmeding’s class at the Leipzig University of Music and Theatre (HMT).

In 2021, he participated in the recording of Olivier Messiaen’s complete organ works at Toul Cathedral. At the 2023 Angers Competition, under the auspices of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, he was awarded the Jean-Louis Florentz Grand Prix, the Audience Prize, and the Contemporary Creation Prize.

In 2024, Alexis won 1st Prize at the Xavier Darasse Competition in Toulouse in the “20th-Century Organ” category, before winning 1st Prize the following year at the prestigious St Albans Competition in the United Kingdom, along with the Jean-Baptiste Robin Contemporary Creation Prize.

He performs regularly as a soloist, in chamber music ensembles, or with orchestras, and participates in festivals such as “La Chaise-Dieu”, “Toulouse les Orgues”, “Paris des Orgues”, and the Roquevaire Festival.
