For the final show of its 2017-18 season, the UMass Fine
Arts Center presents organist Cameron Carpenter featuring the International
Touring Organ on Friday, April 27 at 8 pm in the Concert Hall. After the
performance, audience members are invited to attend the Fine Art Center’s
“Faces of the Fabulous” post-show event as part of ArtWeekMA (April 27-May 6).
A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists,
Carpenter’s approach to the organ is smashing the stereotypes of organists and
organ music, all the while generating international acclaim and controversy
unprecedented in his field. His repertoire – from the complete works of Bach to
film scores, his original compositions and hundreds of arrangements – is
perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist.
A former child prodigy, Carpenter has earned attended
Juilliard School. He holds the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Award, is the first
organist ever nominated for a Grammy Award, and has appeared with many of the
great orchestras around the world
