The moment when you feel that you can take on the whole Empire right now. Priceless – The Royal Albert Hall organ is a beast — 9,999 pipes of thunder, whisper, and everything in between — and Anna Lapwood plays it like a starship captain steering through hyperspace. With nearly all stops pulled out, she conjures a sonic wall so massive it makes the brass shimmer and the strings surge.

Anna Lapwood & Orchestra Light Up Royal Albert Hall with Spectacular Star Wars Finale

At the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Classic FM Live delivered a breathtaking cinematic climax as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of conductor Kirill Karabits, performed John Williams’ legendary Star Wars finale. But the magic didn’t stop there.

Organist Anna Lapwood, Associate Artist of the Hall and newly appointed Classic FM presenter, took center stage—melded with the orchestra, not merely accompanying, but elevating the iconic “Throne Room” and “End Title” themes. Her custom organ score wove seamlessly with Williams’ brass bombast, adding a fresh layer of emotional power and grandeur to the performance

Although the original score didn’t include organ, Lapwood’s creative arrangement brought unexpected majesty—underscored by the swirling lights and pseudo-fireworks of sound that filled the hall. It was a moment of sheer jubilation—a symphony-meets-sci-fi spectacle

Known for her online virality and deep organ explorations, Lapwood’s Royal Albert Hall finale wasn’t just a performance—it was a statement. She proved that even the most familiar film scores can be reborn through innovation and passion.

And in that mesmerizing finale, we were reminded: when two musical worlds collide—symphony and organ—the result can truly feel out of this galaxy.
