Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Pacific Symphony
Join Forces to Present Edgy-Cool, Genre-Defying
Organ Virtuoso Cameron Carpenter
in a One-Night-Only Night of Music
April 4, 2014
Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Pacific Symphony are coming together to present “a madly original organist whose programs careen across centuries of musical history and sashay deep into our popular culture (music writer Alex Ross in his book, The Rest is Noise)” — rock star of the pipe organ, Cameron Carpenter.
Still only in his early 30s, Carpenter is creating quite a stir in the press: “Carpenter is one of the rare musicians who changes the game of his instrument,” wrote Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times.
“He is a smasher of cultural and classical music taboos. He is technically the most accomplished organist I have ever witnessed… And, most important of all, the most musical.” The maverick musician who is causing the music world to sit up and take notice is also the first organist ever nominated for a Grammy® Award for a solo album.
