Cameron Carpenter is having a ball smashing the stereotypes of organists and organ music – all the while generating worldwide acclaim and controversy. His repertoire – from the complete works of J. S. Bach to film scores, his original works and hundreds of transcriptions and arrangements – is probably the most diverse of any organist. He regularly appears as a soloist with many of the world’s great orchestras, and signed in 2013 an exclusive multi-album recording contract with Sony Classical. Cameron launched his International Touring Organ – a monumental digital organ of his own design, playable throughout the world – with concerts at Lincoln Center, the release of the Sony album If You Could Read My Mind, and a 31-concert tour to Europe, the USA and the UK. A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Cameron’s approach to the organ generating a level of acclaim, exposure, and controversy unprecedented for an organist. He is the first organist ever nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for a solo album. For more information please visit www.cameroncarpenter.com
