About
CAMERON CARPENTER IN CONCERT:
Cameron Carpenter continues to revolutionize organ music, putting his unique spin on the otherwise traditional instrument with his spectacular performances and edgy image. Rocking a jet-black mohawk and flashy clothing, he never fails to wow audiences, playing simultaneously with his hands and feet and revealing the 14th century instrument's astonishing complexity. Carpenter continues to innovate with a moveable version of the traditional, fixed pipe organ that he's dubbed the International Touring Organ, a one-of-a-kind invention that will be front and center on his 2014 European and US tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Cameron Carpenter got his start on the piano at an early age, but his love for the organ came while earning his bachelor's and master's degrees from The Juilliard School. His 2008 debut Revolutionary propelled his career to new heights as he became the first organist to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Solo Instrumental Performance. Carpenter's vision for the once-immobile instrument has now come to fruition with the creation of the International Touring Organ, a digital rendition of the pipe organ that allows the artist to play virtually anywhere in the world. No longer bound to traditional venues, Carpenter will debut his unique pipe organ on a string of tour dates in support of his highly anticipated 2014 release If You Could Read My Mind.

by organicwheat on 11/11/14Stiefel Theatre - SalinaI am an organist and professional musician. I went to the concert because I really liked the Youtube postings of Cameron's playing. However, I did not like the concert overall. There was no printed program of the songs he was going to play. The music he selected to play wasn't as good as the YouTube postings I viewed. I thought his appearance was cool but didn't like the genre of music he selected to play. He is very talented and plays the organ like an octopus...probably one of the most accomplished organists I have seen, but the music selections turned me off and I almost walked out a couple of times. I thought the tickets were overpriced for what he had to offer. His playing with the silent movie with Buster Keaton was very good and the highlight of his program I thought...it saved what was left of his program. I would go see him again if I knew what he was going to be playing.
