Experience Anna Lapwood live on April 7th

Anna Lapwood, a British organist renowned for her virtuosic playing and commitment to expanding the organ repertoire, will perform at the Staatstheater Braunschweig on April 7th, 2027. Lapwood’s performances frequently blend traditional classical works with transcriptions of contemporary music – including rock and pop arrangements – alongside her own compositions, aiming to showcase the versatility of the instrument. She is also known for her engaging and accessible presentations on organ music history and technique.

The Staatstheater Braunschweig holds a significant place in German cultural history. Originally established in 1881 as the Herzogliches Hoftheater (Ducal Court Theatre), it has undergone several renovations and name changes throughout its existence. The current building, designed by Bernhard Sehring, opened in 1951 following extensive damage during World War II. It functions as a multi-disciplinary theatre, hosting opera, ballet, drama, and concert performances.

The theatre’s organ is a notable feature; while specific details regarding its construction date and builder require further verification, it is historically documented as being an integral part of the venue's musical offerings since its reopening post-war.
