A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Carpenter's approach to the organ is smashing the stereotypes of organists and organ music while generating a level of acclaim, exposure, and controversy unprecedented for an organist. Carpenter meets his audience in person before his performances - often spending over an hour before each concert shaking hands and signing autographs on the floor of a concert venue. For his performance at the Orpheum, Carpenter will play the theater's Wurlitzer Style 240 pipe organ, which was installed when the theater was built in 1927.
