Fridays at Trinity, our weekly organ recital series since the 1980s, is about to make history in innovative, lively ways. For Friday Organ Concerts from Trinity, our final four recitalists for this season will record their 30-minute programs on their own instruments, for broadcast on Facebook at this link. On Friday, June 12, we are pleased to present celebrated organist Michal Szostak of Warsaw, Poland.

Though previous Fridays at Trinity audiences enjoyed these concerts while sitting in Trinity's nave, our recitalists will now play to the ends of the earth as the series becomes a Facebook broadcast. No longer will lovers of organ music need to find their way to Copley Square each Friday at 12:15. Everyone can tune in from anywhere. The series concludes on Fri., June 12. As always, Richard or Colin will introduce the recitalists, who will also say a few words about their programs and instruments.
