Gilles Angers joined Casavant in 1994 and is the head of restorative work at Casavant. A wood worker by training, Gilles is responsible for making the innumerable parts that are essential to the working of every organ from unseen parts of the playing action to the engraving of the names on the drawknobs. Gilles especially enjoys working on the refurbishment of old Casavant instruments where he can appreciate their diversity and the quality of the work of his predecessors. In his spare time, Gilles likes to play the flute and to be outdoors.
