Anna Lapwood Concert

If you're already planning your cultural calendar for the summer of 2026, make sure to pencil in a unique musical event coming to the city. Organist, conductor, and broadcaster Anna Lapwood is bringing her first major tour to the Brighton Dome on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. Anna has gained significant recognition for making the organ accessible to new audiences—Gramophone even called her 'the dream ambassador for classical music'—and she’s built a massive following of over two million across social media platforms. Beyond her role as Organist at the Royal Albert Hall, she’s known for crossing musical boundaries, having collaborated with artists ranging from RAYE and Florence and the Machine to Bonobo and Benedict Cumberbatch.

This tour is particularly notable because Anna is traveling with her own custom-built touring organ. This instrument was specifically designed to allow her to bring the power and presence of the organ out of traditional church settings and into modern venues like the Dome's Concert Hall, located on Church Street (BN1 1UE). The show is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM (18:30), offering a perfect mid-week evening out.

Forget any dusty preconceptions you might have about organ recitals; the program is a vibrant fusion of festive organ music. The setlist mixes iconic film scores—including music from Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars—with contemporary and traditional classical repertoire. Attendees can expect to hear pieces by composers like Hans Zimmer, Philip Glass, Alan Menken, Claude Debussy, Hania Rania, and Olivia Belli. The atmosphere is clearly intended to be modern and fun, as attendees are strongly encouraged to wear 'sparkles,' suggesting a relaxed and celebratory vibe.

If you’re planning to attend, tickets for the tour went on sale back on November 21st, 2025. While prices may vary depending on seating, the standard guide price for entry is around £31.00. It’s a great opportunity to experience an artist who is genuinely redefining the classical music landscape right here in Brighton.
