Dr Evelyn Stell is a Scottish music historian, composer and organist.

Following her MA and BMus degrees, her doctoral thesis (University of Glasgow, 2000) was on 'Sources of Scottish Instrumental Music, 1603-1707'.

From 2002 until 2013 she served on the Liturgy Commission of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh as convener of its music advisory group, Forth in Praise, which made a special point of encouraging Roman Catholic parish music through training events, liturgical material, compositions and arrangements.

Since 1975 Evelyn Stell has been organist, and latterly Director of Music, at St Michael's RC Church, Linlithgow.

She is constantly planning to retire, intending to concentrate on composition for the organ, and one day might even do so.

Evelyn is married to Geoffrey Stell.

They have a son, a daughter and four grandsons.
