In the world of music, the organ doesn’t usually get enough recognition. That said, organists like Anna Lapwood are doing something about that. She’s yet to reach her 30s, but she’s already managed to accomplish great feats. Anna wears many hats: organist, conductor, broadcaster, and Director of Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, this year, Anna released a brand-new album! It’s called Firedove, and it features 16 songs, some of which you may recognize. Throughout her journey as a musician, Anna’s parents have been some of her biggest supporters. That’s why she chose to capture her dad reacting to one of her favorite parts of the album. Experience this moment with him in the tear-jerking video below!

World Renowned Organist Anna Lapwood Shares Precious Moment While Sharing Her New Album with Dad
“As a parent, he’s hearing you play but seeing his little girl who he took to lessons, who wanted to quit, but he encouraged you to stick with it,” someone points out in reply to Anna’s video.
Other commenters add, “That’s pure unfiltered love for his daughter right there! And now I’m crying on the bus home” and “The chills we all got from that moment!”
Anna has accomplished so much in her career. Just last year, she had the rare chance to use the full power of the Royal Albert Hall organ. Still, she says this moment with Dad “might be one of my favorite videos.” And it’s easy to understand why!
It’s always satisfying to accomplish our goals. That said, it can be even more special when the people we love most are extra vocal about how proud they are. If you’d like to support Anna’s music yourself, you can find Firedove on a number of streaming sites right now.
