Biography

First a pupil of Jeanne Joulain at the Roubaix conservatory, in 1958 he joined Rolande Falcinelli's class at the Conservatoire de Paris, after spending one year in the Lille Conservatory. Laureate of the organ Prize in 1961, he also studied briefly with Marie-Claire Alain and won several international competitions, including the Grand Prix de Chartres in 1971, tied with Daniel Roth.

A professor of organ at the conservatories of Roubaix and Valenciennes, he was also an organist virtuoso with a great technique combined with an undeniable talent for improvisation. Appointed in 1985 co-titular of the organs of Notre-Dame de Paris alongside Olivier Latry, Philippe Lefèbvre and Jean-Pierre Leguay, following Pierre Cochereau's death, He was also titular organist of the église Saint-Christophe de Tourcoing since 1965.

December 10, 2010, a plaque was affixed at the entrance of the cemetery of the town of Mouvaux, where he rests.
During 40 years, his uncle Édouard Devernay played the organ of the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church in Trouville-sur-Mer (Calvados) (1912 to 1952).
