Cameron Carpenter International Touring Organ Debut and Festival

Alice Tully Hall

"Join Cameron Carpenter in a day-long festival at Lincoln Center as he launches his long-awaited International Touring Organ and celebrates the Spring 2014 release of his debut album on Sony Classical. Easily one of the most ambitious musical projects of the twenty-first century, the International Touring Organ is the culmination of Cameron's vision to bring his music to the world through a dedicated "dream" organ no matter where he plays."

Don't miss the historic culmination of this vision into a compelling, revolutionary reality.

The two full-length concerts feature vastly diverse repertoire, including many first performances of works and arrangements created specifically for this organ. Among these will be:

- The world premiere of Cameron's "Music for an Imaginary Film" (2013)

- Expanded versions of many of his recent arrangements, heard for the first time in an "ideal" form not tourable to pipe organs, including Scriabin's monumental Fourth Sonata and the ecstatic Scherzo from Tschaikovsky's Sixth Symphony

- Song paraphrases from the forthcoming Sony Album, spanning Gershwin and Piazzolla to Patsy Cline, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Leslie Bricusse, Burt Bacharach, and many others.

In addition to the two full-length concerts, the festival features a lecture-demonstration on Cameron's philosophy behind the instrument and the influences it gathers from his experiences of the great organs of the world; and several other exciting events.
