Cameron Carpenter Tickets

Cameron Carpenter is amazing and will win over even the most tone deaf listener.

Cameron Carpenter was spectacular!! I hope to see him again soon.

International Touring Organ at Royce Hall, UCLA Excellent. Would NOT recommend buying ticket "insurance". You have to die to collect. My mistake.

He's a super interesting guy and being a fantastic musician on top of it is just a cherry on the cake. His versatility is incredible.

Who would've thought the organ could be so fun, exciting and beautiful. I and my friends all were blown away !!!!

Not only was the performance virtuosic, but the instrument on which Cameron played is one of a kind. Sort of like having the 20 best organs of the world in the same place. It did not sound like an electronic organ at all. Cameron clearly loves what he does, evident not only from his playing, but also from the informative commentary preceding each piece.

Cameron Carpenter is a fabulous performer, and no one can question his technical skill. I found his registrations quite thoughtful and interesting. I was actually disappointed in the organ itself. The ratio of stops to audio channels was way off, and it had an adverse affect on the sound. For an organ that size, it needed a far larger audio system, as each speaker, especially near full organ, became strained and harsh. For a custom and purpose built instrument, especially for what it would have cost, it could have and should have been much better.

I didn't know what to expect. The show turned out to be a once in a lifetime event. Truly Inspirational - I shortly became aware that we were in the presence of genius expressing itself. The youtube clips don't do it justice. You must see this modern day (Bach, Beethoven, Einstein, Jobs) live to know what it is. Cameron takes the most intricate and makes it accessible to everyone with out loosing the essence, the magic of his art. Amazing, cutting edge the way he merges classical with cutting edge technology.

Last Saturday night we attended the Cameron Carpenter concert in Tucson at the university campus. The first time I heard him he was still in high school. He played the "Stars and Stripes Forever" tune entirely on the pedals. We were at an organ dealer conference - and we were all amazed by his talent. The combination of Carpenter and the new Marshall and Ogeltree organ was astounding! The instrument had 48 speaker cabinets spread across the front of the auditorium. When he played Verne, it was a bit like listening to a huge symphony. He could have cheated and used synthesizer voices, but instead, all the sounds were a combination of classical and theater organ stops. Some were pure and sweet - and some were really nasty! At times, I was reminded of some of the weird sounds Wendy Carlos used with her Switched On Bach recordings. The organ has a lot of power, but, for the most part, the program was not overly loud. I think he used the organ's power appropriately. Carpenter spend several minutes introducing each piece. At times, he was very funny. And then, dark. Especially when he announced the death of classical music and classical organ music. But, that should come as no surprise. After all, how many people attend organ concerts today? And how many symphony orchestras have shut down in the past few years? Happily, there were probably 800 - 1000 people at the Carpenter concert. And, next time he comes to Arizona - we're going!

amazing technique , talent. looking forward to see & hear him again soon.
