IT was most interesting to read your article regarding the restored organ at Barnard Castle School (Echo, April 28). It was even more interesting to note that there will be three concerts to celebrate its return to glory.

However, what about the first organ recital on April 24? A chapel packed to capacity had a wonderful evening of music performed by Matthew Atherton, organist at the school.

The programme was very varied, from Handel, Bach, Coates, Strauss and many others. The applause said it all. Thank you, Matthew, for an extremely delightful evening which, I am sure, will be echoed by many others.
