Cameron Carpenter is the world’s most visible organist, the first ever to be nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for a solo album.

He holds the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Award, and in 2014, launched his International Touring Organ (ITO)- a first-of-its kind digital organ built to his own design. He is a virtuoso composer/performer who is smashing the stereotypes of organ and classical music. Cameron’s latest album, recorded at the Berlin Konzerthaus includes his own rendition of Bach’s Goldberg Variations as well as Hanson’s Symphony #2, and was released by Universal / DECCA in the fall of 2021. One of his previous releases, ‘All You Need is Bach’ debuted at #1 on the traditional classical charts.

Recent highlights include recitals with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Lucerne Festival, Philharmonie Cologne, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Philharmonie Luxembourg, his debut at the Cité de La Musique, Paris, and a residency at Konzerthaus Berlin.

“He is technically the most accomplished organist I have ever witnessed… And, most important of all, the most musical.” — Los Angeles Times

“A fallen angel who gives the organ back its sin.”
