We are honored and absolutely thrilled to be ending our Festival with a concert we eagerly awaited!
Exquisitely talented organist Cameron Carpenter will perform in Timișoara for the first time on Sunday, 29th of October, starting at 7.30 pm at the Roman Catholic Dome.
“He is a true pioneering musician, and a classic by-the-book virtuoso” are the words used by Neue Zürcher Zeitung when describing the first organist in the world to be nominated for a GRAMMY award.
Cameron Carpenter needs no introduction, for he is perhaps the most renowned organist in the world, and for good reason, his accomplishments going far beyond technique and virtuosity, but true artistry and a musicality without limits.
We hope to see you at the last concert of our 2023 TimOrgelFest International Organ Festival, to witness the greatness of Cameron Carpenter where “flamboyant presentation goes hand in hand with unquestioned virtuosity” (The New Yorker).
