In a candid conversation with Hauptwerk CEO Brett Milan,
Anna Lapwood shares her hope of introducing new audiences to the pipe organ through music that feels familiar and accessible.

For many, Anna has become the gateway to the organ.

We are grateful for her gift and for the doors she has opened for so many to discover and appreciate this remarkable instrument.

The interview was filmed with Anna seated at the Content Cambiare Hauptwerk organ—the same instrument she tours with to bring the beauty of the pipe organ to audiences in venues that otherwise couldn’t host a live pipe organ performance.

Anna Lapwood + Hauptwerk + Content Organs… this is going to be special.

For centuries, audiences traveled to the pipe organ. With Hauptwerk and Anna’s traveling Cambiare organ, the pipe organ can now travel to the audience.

A real pipe organ is like a house with hardwired light switches. One switch controls one specific light.

But Hauptwerk is more like a smart home. You can configure controls in ways that would be difficult or impossible on many traditional organs.

Here, Hector Olivera explains his custom Hauptwerk setup where the same Clarinet stop can be played from two different keyboards at once.

On a traditional pipe organ, that could require extra couplers, rewiring, or might not even be possible on that instrument.

Hauptwerk gives organists a level
of flexibility impossible on most traditional organs.

Hauptwerk brings organists the experience of a real pipe organ.
And all it takes is one
keystroke to feel it.

The responsiveness.
The nuances.
The realism.
The feeling of being connected to the King of Instruments.

Here’s Andy Brown performing on a Hauptwerk organ by Mixtuur at a past AGO convention.

Join us July 6–8 at the AGO National Convention in St. Louis and experience Hauptwerk for yourself.

Anna Lapwood continues to introduce an entirely new generation to the pipe organ. Here she is performing on her touring organ, a Hauptwerk Cambiare Series organ by Content Organs.

By combining traditional organ repertoire with film and orchestral music, Anna has brought the organ far beyond the classical mainstream and introduced millions of people to sounds they may never have experienced otherwise.

With her help, maybe the organ won’t seem so spooky anymore.

A little Cavaillé-Coll with coffee.
Bach before breakfast.
Full organ to wake up the
rest of the house.

For organists, inspiration doesn’t wait.

Playing whatever you want the moment you wake up is hard to put into words.

That’s the beauty of Hauptwerk.
Something Hector Olivera appreciates every day.
