“She is much more than a gifted organist, choral conductor and social media sensation… she’s a star on a mission.” (The Sunday Times)
Anna Lapwood MBE—official Organist of the Royal Albert Hall, chart-topping recording artist, and social media sensation—brings her trailblazing artistry to Portland for a special Mother’s Day performance on the Kotzschmar Organ. Known for her “imaginative, open-minded” approach and for redefining what it means to be a classical musician today, Lapwood is shaking up a world once seen as old, formal, and male-dominated with her joy, authenticity, and millions of fans across the globe.
This marks her first-ever appearance in Portland and her only Northeast tour stop. With her signature sparkle and a mission to make the organ feel vibrant, inclusive, and new, Lapwood transforms each performance into something unforgettable. Hearing her play the Kotzschmar is a rare and thrilling match of artist and instrument. Hailed by Gramophone as “the dream ambassador for classical music,” and proudly embracing the motto #PlayLikeAGirl, Anna Lapwood is not just performing—she is changing the game.
