Cameron Carpenter made music history when he became the first organist to be nominated for a Grammy Award for a solo album. He has received numerous awards throughout his remarkable career, including the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Prize, as well as multiple ECHO Klassik and Opus Klassik awards.

A Juilliard School graduate, he has performed in many of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including London’s Royal Albert Hall, Sydney’s Opera House, Zurich’s Tonhalle, Paris’s Philharmonie and Berlin’s Philharmonie. His artistic range is evident from commissions by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and the Cologne Philharmonic, and from his appearances at prestigious events such as the TED Conference and the Aspen Ideas Festival.

He performs with world-class orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Boston Symphony, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg and the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra. He has collaborated with renowned conductors including Manfred Honneck, Tugan Sokhiev, Cornelius Meister and Christoph Eschenbach. He has also been appointed Artist in Residence at the Konzerthaus Berlin. Whether on the world’s greatest stages or in more intimate settings, Carpenter consistently thrills his audiences and redefines the artistic possibilities of the organ.

Highlights of the 2025/26 season include performances with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as recitals in Monaco and Lithuania, and at the International Organ Week in Nuremberg. In December 2025, he will perform at the gala concerts celebrating the reopening of the Beethovenhalle in Bonn.

His 2021 album Bach & Hanson, recorded at the Berlin Konzerthaus, features his interpretations of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, combining classical mastery with innovation in his own unique way. One of his earlier albums, »All You Need Is Bach«, reached number one in the classical charts.
