Descrizione
Cameron Carpenter is one of the first to play the newly restored Steinmeyer Organ. The rumor has it Carpenter does not have any physical restrictions when it comes to playing the organ. You would not want to miss the 28th of July in Nidaros Cathedral.
Born in 1981 in Pennsylvania, USA, Carpenter performed J.S. Bach Well Tempered Clavier for the first time when he was eleven and became a member of the American Boychoir School in 1992. Besides his mentor Beth Etter, John Bertalot and James Litton belonged to his teachers. At the North Carolina School of Arts he studied composition and organ with John E. Mitchener and transcribed more than 100 works for organ, among them Mahler’s Symphony No 5. He composed his first own works during his studies at Juilliard School in New York, 2000-2006. At the same time he received piano lessons by Miles Fusco.
In 2011 his concerto for organ and orchestra The Scandal was premiered by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen at the Philharmonie Cologne. In 2012 he received the Leonard Bernstein Award of the Schleswig-Holstein-Musik Festival.
In 2013 he signed an exclusive recording contract with Sony International, currently preparing his debut CD release. Carpenter was the first organist ever to receive a Grammy nomination for his album Revolutionary (2008), which was followed by his Bach recording Cameron Live! (2010), both for Telarc. Carpenter’s compositions are published exclusively by Edition Peters.
Cameron is one of the only performing artists to make a practice of meeting his audience in person before his performances, and often spends over an hour before each concert shaking hands and signing autographs on the floor of a concert venue. With combined millions of hits on YouTube and numerous television, radio and press features including CNN The Next List, CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Radio 3, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal and many others, he is the world’s most visible organist.
