Local organist Birgitta Birchall will be giving the lunchtime recital in a city centre church next Tuesday, July 19.

She will be playing at Marlborough Road Methodist Church from 12.30pm in a series of recitals organised by the New School of Organ Studies.

Birgitta, organist at Dagnall Street Baptist Church in St Albans, studied music at Gothenburg University and Conservatoire and was active as a teacher, organist, choir leader and music director in the Gothenburg region until she came to the UK in 1986.

After many years teaching in schools she now pursues a freelance career - tutoring, performing and examining - as well as working as lead teacher and moderator for Herts Music Service.

Admission to the recital is free, with a retiring collection in aid of the New School of Organ Studies and the church.
