Whether performing on the grandest stages or intimate settings, Cameron Carpenter continues to captivate audiences and redefine the possibilities of the organ. 

In 2014, Carpenter unveiled the International Touring Organ (ITO), a revolutionary digital organ of his own design. While the project faced setbacks due to the pandemic, Carpenter continues to redefine the organ’s place in contemporary music. His 2021 album, recorded at the Konzerthaus Berlin, showcases his interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations alongside his transcription of Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, demonstrating his signature blend of classical mastery and innovation. His previous album All You Need Is Bach debuted at No. 1 on the traditional classical charts.
