Elizabeth Stirling

Elizabeth Bridge (26 February 1819 – 25 March 1895) was an English organist and composer.

Elizabeth Stirling was born in Greenwich, London, and studied piano and organ at the Royal Academy of Music with Edward Holmes and W. B. Wilson, and harmony with James Alexander Hamilton and Sir George Macfarren.

In 1837 she performed a recital at St. Katherine's Church, Regent's Park, which was reviewed by The Musical World.

In that year, she successfully competed for the post of organist at St Andrew Undershaft, a position she filled until 1880.

She published two grand voluntaries, six pedal fugues, eight slow movements and other organ-pieces, over fifty songs and duets, and arrangements of the works of Bach, Mozart and Handel.
