Royal Albert Hall Organ Scholar – Applications Now Open

Royal Albert Hall Organ Scholar – Applications Now Open

October 15, 2025

The Royal Albert Hall has just announced the search for its first ever Organ Scholar in a recurring year-long scheme led by Anna in her role of official Organist of the Royal Albert Hall.

Since it was unveiled 154 years ago, the Grand Organ has been played by some of the most renowned musicians in the world, and so far during Anna’s tenure at the Hall it has featured across a broad range of repertoire from core classical to gigs with Bonobo and Ministry of Sound.

If you are aged 20-25, this could be your chance to develop your musical journey, learning with Anna at one of the most famous organs in the world.

The first successful recipient will receive a range of opportunities at the Hall over the course of 12 months to support the development of their organ playing and career in the music industry. The scholarship aims to advance the recipient’s key skills including performance style and communication. The activity will consider the organ’s place in the Hall’s annual programme, the broader music world, and how the Hall can support the scholar in widening the reach of organ music.

Submissions are open until 5pm BST, 11th November 2025, with auditions on the Hall’s organ taking place at the end of November, with the aim of the successful candidate beginning their programme at the start of January 2026.

Visit the Royal Albert Hall website for more information and to apply.
