I am one of the largest instruments in the country! Impressed? (Parody account of the @RAHOrgan).
The Royal Albert Hall
Joined October 2009
My pipes have been filled with antibacterial hand gel. The @RoyalAlbertHall roof has been opened. Soon I will play a fortissimo low C. The nation will be disinfected within 3 minutes.

These are fake images created by AI. It is I who am the largest, and therefore most impressive (and sexy), organ in the world. To dispute this is treason. See you in court, Anna.
Today is a day I will never, ever, ever forget. I got to play the two largest organs in the world!!!!!!! Somebody pinch me. HUGE thanks to the teams at Wanamaker & Boardwalk Hall for making it possible.

Can’t believe you’re just sharing my nudes like this.

Don’t worry everyone, the BBC scrapping bits of classical music are purely for the purpose of funding a new 256’ pipe for ME. To be premiered at this year’s Proms. Unless they gut those too, of course.

Bury me in this dress.
EEEEE!! I can't quite believe I'm typing this, but I'm so excited to share that I've signed a recording contract with @SonyClassicalUK & the first track from my new EP comes out next week! Can't wait to work with them to introduce even more people to the magic of the organ ❤️

So much good stuff in the Prince Harry memoir but my favourite is his revelation of hearing Tristan at Covent Garden for the first time: ‘I was fascinated by the famous chord’s comparison to a dissonant contrapuntal gesture from the E minor fugue of The Well-Tempered Clavier.’

Pop stars have long used TikTok to talk directly with fans, show them candid footage of their lives or promote new releases. The organist Anna Lapwood is using the same techniques to inspire TikTok users to fall in love with classical music.

Anna Lapwood became a star on an app known more for dancing clips than classical music.

Good.

I think Tory MPs could do with a nice concert of organ music. Come on down!

So great to meet the @sidemen and show them the @royalalberthall organ! I’m not sure how much crossover there is between our audiences but this is part of the joy of music: the ability to break down boundaries! Thanks as always to the RAH team for thinking outside the box ❤️

Following the very sad news of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, as a mark of respect we will not be going ahead with Prom 71 on Friday 9 September, or the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday 10 September.
