Dr. Fishell is a recitalist and teacher of international standing. Named “Young Organist of the Year” by Keyboard Arts, Inc. while still an undergraduate, she has performed in many of the world’s greatest concert venues including Suntory Hall, Tokyo; King’s College, Cambridge; Berlin’s Schauspielhaus; the Liszt Academy, Budapest; and the Prague Spring Festival; and has been a featured recitalist and lecturer at five national conventions and five regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists. Her solo recitals for the 2006 national convention of the AGO in Chicago were critically acclaimed as “flawless” and a convention highlight. The author of numerous articles and a book on service playing published by Abingdon Press, Fishell is widely recognized as a leading authority on the organ music of Czech composer Petr Eben.

An Upbeat Live pre-concert event will take place in BP Hall at 6:30 PM and is free of charge to all ticket holders.

ORGAN RECITAL SERIES AT WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL:

The WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL ORGAN was inaugurated in 2004 at the opening of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s second season in the new Hall.  Designed by Frank Gehry and Manuel Rosales of Rosales Organ Builders, the Walt Disney Concert Hall organ contains pipes ranging in size from a pencil to a telephone pole, and is voiced with a wide dynamic range from pianississimo to a breathtaking fortissimo.  The specially curved wood façade pipes were made by Glatter-Götz Orgelbau of solid, vertical grain Douglas fir and consist of the Violone and Bassoon basses. Behind the façade are three levels of pipes, including metal pipes made of tin and lead alloys and wood pipes made of Norwegian pine.

The 2012/13 Organ Recital Series continues with:
