Anna Lapwood MBE is joining Classic FM in 2025 to present a special mini-series across the Easter weekend. ‘The Royal Albert Hall of Fame’ airs from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 April at 9pm.
The acclaimed organist, conductor and TikTok star has more than 1.1 million followers, and is one of today’s most influential classical musicians.
Packed into three 60-minute programmes, Anna’s series will mark 25 years since the first Classic FM Live concert was staged at the Royal Albert Hall, celebrating the incredible music, history and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that make it one of the world’s most recognised and iconic live music concert venues.
In the first episode, on Friday 18 April, Anna will highlight the early years of the Hall, from the moment when Queen Victoria laid the first stone, in 1867. Anna will play music from the first ever concert performed there, including Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No.1. The remaining programmes will celebrate The Weird and the Wonderful, concluding with All Time Greats.
