CAMERON CARPENTER is the first organist ever to be nominated for a Grammy award for a solo album.
He is known for his intensely personal, often flamboyant, performances. Dubbed "the Maverick Organist" by The New York Times and described as a "profound musical intelligence" by The Wall Street Journal, his organ playing is widely regarded as unmatched: his readings of Chopin’s Études, Op. 10 question the limits of organ technique, particularly when Chopin’s relentless chromatic runs are played only by the feet.
Cameron’s repertoire spans the organ and piano literature; his original compositions; film scores, especially from Japanese animé; and improvisations influenced by folk song, jazz, soul, disco and pop.
From his use of color, to the concert clothes and organ shoes he designs - prompting press such as Women’s Wear Daily to nickname him the “organist-runway model” - his approach to the organ is unique.
