Anna Lapwood is one of the UK’s most dynamic ambassadors for classical music. As the official organist of the Royal Albert Hall, she has broken down genre boundaries and introduced a huge new audience to the organ. She has reached millions via her devoted social media following which is three-million-strong and helped revitalize repertoire for the instrument through the dedicated commissioning and performing of new works. The scope of her influence is demonstrated by her appointment as MBE in 2024’s New Year’s Honours list and her inclusion in the 2025 Sunday Times Young Power List.

As a recitalist, Anna has carved out a niche combining performances of more traditional organ repertoire with film and orchestral music, often in her own arrangements. Her recent touring programs have placed the music of Durufle, Gigout and Britten alongside large-scale transcriptions of music from Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings. Recent recital venues include Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, the Sydney Opera House, Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall and Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.

A keen collaborator, Anna is an Artist in Association with the BBC Singers and Featured Artist with the Hallé. Her relationship with the Royal Albert Hall has resulted in some of her most memorable pop collaborations including AURORA, Bonobo, Florence + the Machine, and Raye, as well as actor Benedict Cumberbatch for Letters Live.
