Truro Cathedral Lunchtime Friday 17th June

[organforumadmin]

My friend Lilita Ozola, who studied at St Petersburg Conservatoire and Riga Academy of Music but who now lives and works in west Somerset, is going back to Riga next week to give a recital on this organ.  She played it regularly when she was teaching at Riga Academy.  She says it's a magnificent instrument  but it needs at least one assistant to change registrations for a concert.  Also, the pedalboard is short compass which means much rearrangement of the music.  Lilita's programme includes the Durufle Suite for Organ and Mulet's Carillon-Sortie as well as music by the Latvian composer Romaulds Jermaks who celebrates his 80th birthday this year.

If you can't get to Riga, Lilita is playing a lunchtime recital in Truro Cathedral next Friday, 17th June.
