The Mt. Gretna Playhouse presents a special organ recital by Cameron Carpenter by special arrangement with Music at Gretna Tickets available at 717-361-1508 or www.gretnamusic.org/mag_htm. $23 and $19 or $26 at the door. Cameron Carpenter will present a concert on the traveling organ that he has personally designed. It has five manuals and an extra octave in the pedal. This will be Cameron’s inaugural tour with the organ. Word has it that it has to be seen to be believed. It follows in the tradition of Virgil Fox and the organ with which he traveled. Few organists have received so many accolades, and become as well known at such an early age as Mr. Carpenter. Russian audiences demanded eight and ten encores. Even the staid British welcomed him with enthusiasm in the Royal Albert Hall in London. Only a few organists capture the attention of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in addition to leading newspapers across the country. More information is available at www.CameronCarpenter.com.
