Lauded by the New Yorker as “a young superstar,” Cameron Carpenter has done so much more than merely ruffle the feathers of the organ’s stodgy establishment – the 33-year-old virtuoso has taken a sledgehammer to organ conventions while forcing the cloistered organ world to acknowledge his iconoclastic vision. With the introduction of his groundbreaking International Touring Organ, he is solely responsible for the first significant advance in his instrument’s development in over a century. Watch Cameron Carpenter perform Bach's Fugue in B minor at the SFJAZZ Center.

"In a nutshell, it's a lifelong dream of mine to have an organ that I could have the same relationship with as a violinist or a saxophonist. Infrastructurally, the pipe organ has always made that impossible, but technology, of course, has a way of catching up with these things."
