Peter Holder, sub organist of Westminster Abbey, London, UK, will be making his first American recital tour in November.
Holder recently served as the primary organist for three royal occasions at the Abbey, which were the national thanksgiving memorial service for the death of Prince Phillip, the funeral service of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the coronation service for their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Holder made his BBC Proms solo debut at the 2019 First Night of the Proms performing Janacek’s Glagolitic Mass. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, where he won numerous major prizes and awards under the tutelage of David Titterington. He undertook further study with Jon Laukvik at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Stuttgart, Germany, and Thierry Escaich in Paris, France. In 2016 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music.
Holder’s repertoire for his tour will focus on British organ music and feature music especially associated with Westminster Abbey and its national occasions. His appearances include November 5, St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church, Plano, Texas; 11/8, University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee; 11/10, First Presbyterian Church, Tyler, Texas; 11/12, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Houston, Texas; and 11/14, St. James Episcopal Church, Alexandria, Louisiana.
