We are delighted to be welcoming Anna Lapwood MBE to Christ's Hospital in October.

Anna has reached audiences far beyond the classical mainstream with her striking blend of musicianship, enthusiasm and charm, and eloquent artistry.

In demand worldwide as concerto soloist and recitalist, she has attracted over two million social media followers and regularly connects with listeners as a presenter on BBC Radio and Television, and Classic FM. Her discography as an exclusive SONY Classical artist continues to grow, most recently with the 2025 release of Fire dove, an album of original compositions and works freshly arranged for organ.

Anna will give a recital on the Organ in Chapel. Including music by: Olivia Belli, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Eugène Gigout

There are a limited number of tickets available which include a drinks reception in the Court Room following the recital.

Join Christ's Hospital Choral Society on Saturday 1st November and explore Dvorak's 'Mass in D major'

Dvořák’s Mass in D Major, Op. 86, a deeply personal expression of faith. Written originally for choir, soloists, and organ in a country chapel, this “Lužany Mass” blends intimacy, lyricism, and heartfelt devotion.

The Director for the day will be Adrian Bawtree. Adrian believes in the power of music to enrich lives, and as a professional musician he has seen first-hand the impact music and other creative activities can have on improving wellbeing.
