Cameron Carpenter, the Grammy-nominated American organist, has been compared to Fred Astaire, The Scissor Sisters and Liberace. He is known for his intensely personal, flamboyant performances with a repertoire spanning both organ and piano literature. From his use of colour to the concert clothes and organ shoes he designs, his approach to the organ is unique.

Mr Carpenter's programme will be announced from the stage, based upon discoveries made during rehearsal. Always performing from memory, he draws repertoire from virtuoso organ music such as Bach, Demessieux and Dupré; his own transcriptions of piano and orchestral litertaure such as Chopin, Mahler and Mussorgsky; his own compositions and arragements of film music; and his own treatments of pop and folk tunes in brilliant improvisations.
