Callum Anderson is a harpsichordist and organist based in London. In 2020 he completed a Master's Degree in Historically Informed Performance at the Royal Academy of Music with a distinction, studying the harpsichord with Carole Cerasi and James Johnstone.​ He now enjoys a busy freelance musician career, performing regularly as a continuo player and keyboard soloist. 

 

As a continuo player, he has taken part in numerous projects around the UK with chamber and orchestral ensembles, such as the Royal Northern Sinfonia, Ensemble La Notte, Minerva Baroque, Eboracum Baroque, Bath Festival Orchestra, Leeds Baroque, London Mozart Players, Piccadilly Sinfionetta, Sinfonia Cymru and Manchester Collective. With the chamber ensemble Liturina, he took part in the final of the York Early Music International Young Artists Competition (2022) and the Brighton Early Music Festival's (BREMF) Young Artist Scheme (2024/25) with Minerva Baroque. As a keyboard soloist, he has given organ recitals at venues such as St. Botolph without Aldgate, Grosvenor Chapel, Temple Church, Canterbury Cathedral, and harpsichord recitals at Handel and Hendrix in London and The Horiman Museum. In February 2025, he undertook his first performance with the newly formed Chiswick Chamber Orchestra as the harpsichord soloist for J.S. Bach’s 5th Brandenburg Concerto. He looks forward to returning to Leeds in March 2025 to perform again with Leeds Baroque as the organist for Vivaldi’s Organ and Violin Concerto in C minor. Callum is currently taking part in the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Experience Scheme from 2024-2025 as a continuo player. 

 

Alongside his freelance career, Callum is the Assistant Director of Music at St. Mary’s Church, Putney. He was previously the organist of St. Peter’s Church, Acton (2020-2022), and has held organ scholarships at St. Mary Redcliffe (Bristol), St. Mary's Church (Battersea) and St. Marylebone Parish Church. He is also an active teacher in keyboard and music theory in schools and privately. When time permits, he enjoys composing music in a neo-baroque style for harpsichord and organ.
