Peter Holder is Sub-Organist of Westminster Abbey and has played at many state occasions.
Peter has held the post of Sub-Organist of Westminster Abbey since October 2017. He is the principal organist for the Abbey’s daily services and at state occasions, and accompanies the Abbey Choir in its concerts, recordings and broadcasts. He is the principal deputy conductor of the choir and supports Organist and Master of the Choristers Andrew Nethsingha in training the Abbey choristers.
As a recitalist, Peter performs in cathedrals and concert halls across the world. He made his BBC Proms solo debut at the 2019 First Night of the Proms performing Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass. Ivan Hewett, writing for The Daily Telegraph, remarked that ‘…it was Peter Holder’s wild organ solo which stole the show’, whilst BBC Music Reporter Mark Savage wrote that ‘…Holder deservedly received an ovation after untangling the labyrinthine solo’.
