Cameron Carpenter



A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Cameron’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 Cesar 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. Cameron has played at such prestigious venues as the Royal Albert Hall, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Melbourne Town Hall, Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Davies Hall in San Francisco and many others. 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 TimesThe New YorkerThe Wall Street Journal and many others, he is the world’s most visible organist.
