Artist Info

Cameron Carpenter, organ

A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Cameron Carpenter’s approach to the organ is smashing the stereotypes of organists and organ music while generating a level of acclaim, exposure, and controversy unprecedented for an organist. His repertoire – from the complete works of J. S. Bach and César Franck, to his hundreds of transcriptions of non-organ works, his original compositions, and his collaborations with jazz and pop artists – is perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist. He is the first organist ever nominated for a Grammy Award for a solo album.

Mr. Carpenter performed Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier at age 11 before joining the American Boychoir School in 1992 as a boy soprano. He continued composing after moving to New York City in 2000 to attend The Juilliard School. While there, he composed art songs; the symphonic poem Child of Baghdad (2003) for orchestra, chorus and Ondes Martenot; his first substantial works for solo organ; and numerous organ arrangements of piano works. He received a Master's Degree from The Juilliard School in New York in 2006. That same year, he began his worldwide organ concert tours. His first album for Telarc, the Grammy-nominated Revolutionary (2008), was followed in 2010 by the critically acclaimed DVD and CD Cameron Live! Edition Peters became his publisher in 2010, and his first major work for organ and orchestra, The Scandal, Op. 3, was commissioned by the Cologne Philharmonie. Mr. Carpenter is one of the only performing artists to make a practice of meeting his audience in person before his performances. With combined millions of hits on YouTube and numerous television, radio and press features including CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Radio 3, ARD, ZDF, NDR Kultur, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal and many others, he is the world’s most visible organist.
