The Christmas with Anna Lapwood tour opens on 2nd December at the majestic Manchester Cathedral, setting the tone for a series of unforgettable performances in some of the UK’s most atmospheric venues including Birmingham Town Hall on 9th December. These dates follow the success of Anna’s sold-out debut headline tour in 2024, which established her as one of the most exciting and accessible figures in classical music today.
Hailed by Gramophone as “the dream ambassador for classical music,” Anna Lapwood is one of the world’s most sought-after organists. Decorated with numerous accolades—including an MBE—she has captivated a new generation of music lovers through both her virtuosic performances and her vibrant online presence, boasting over 2 million followers across TikTok and other platforms.
On the Christmas with Anna Lapwood UK tour, Anna says: “Christmas is one of my favourite times of year as an organist! It’s the time of year where most people get to hear the organ be played, and where no-one can resist joining in with a little bit of carol singing. My Christmas tour is going to capture some of that magic; I’ll be playing some of my favourite Christmas organ music, soundtracks from some of the iconic films that I always watch at this time of year, and there will be a chance for a little bit of festive carol singing too! I can’t wait to see you there – and, as always – sparkles are compulsory!”
