Summer Organ Festival: Peter Holder

In this closing concert of the 2021 Summer Organ Festival, Westminster Abbey Sub-Organist Peter Holder plays his own transcription of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals in the composer’s 100th anniversary year. Fast establishing a reputation as one of the most exciting organists of his generation, Peter Holder has held the post of Sub-Organist of Westminster Abbey since October 2017. Alongside his Abbey duties as principal organist for the daily services, he is increasingly in demand as a solo performer and made his BBC Proms debut in 2019. He regularly broadcasts for radio and television and is an organ tutor at the Royal Academy of Music.

Tickets must be booked in advance via Eventbrite. It will not be possible to purchase tickets on the door.
