Organ Recital @ St Judes

This recital is presented by Martin Setchell, Town Hall Organist at Christchurch New Zealand. Setchell emigrated to New Zealand in 1974 on his appointment to the University of Canterbury School of Music where he taught for 40 years and became Associate Professor of Music. In 2014 he resigned his University position in order to devote himself full time to his work as a professional freelance musician, performing, writing, speaking, editing and teaching. Since 1997, when he was appointed curator of the Rieger pipe organ by the City Council, he has devoted himself to promoting the organ as a concert instrument internationally. His solo concert tours outside New Zealand regularly take him to Australia, America, Europe and the Far East. This year (2019) his concert tours include Australia, Germany, and the Bergen Festival Norway as well as throughout New Zealand. Admission by donation.
