Aaron Hawthorne is a sought-after silent film and concert organist from North Lanarkshire, Scotland, with a Master of Arts degree in Music from the University of Glasgow. He performs regularly across the UK, Europe, and the USA, known for his engaging organ recitals and silent film accompaniments. Since 2017, he has been a house organist at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow. His passion for theatre and cinema organs started in his teens during a visit to Blackpool's Tower Ballroom.

In 2019, Aaron won the Young Theatre Organist Competition in New York after winning the UK title earlier, and later received the Ian Sutherland Award for his promise as a theatre organist. He is active in organ preservation societies and is also an accomplished choral conductor and Arts Development Officer for North Lanarkshire Council. Aaron has completed four UK silent film tours, performing classics like "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925), "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror”(1922), "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde"(1920), "The Cabinet of Dr Caligari"(1920), and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”(1923) earning praise for introducing new audiences to silent films and the pipe organ's unique sound.
