E. Ray Peebles, senior organist at First United Methodist, writes "Virtuoso concert organist Cameron Carpenter will be playing live at First United Methodist Church, Head of Texas Street, Shreveport, on the 5-manual 110-rank Moller Pipe Organ October 15 at 3:00 p.m.

The New York Times calls Cameron 'The Jewel of Julliard' and 'The Maverick Organist.'

Cameron, age 24, is the most brilliant organist in America today, thus the most controversial organist alive today. On Saturday October 14 at 10:00 a.m. at First Methodist Church, The North Louisiana Chapter of AGO is sponsoring Cameron to give a workshop on how he transcribes orchestral music for the organ, including registration, plus much more. There is no admission for the workshop or the recital.

I think his concert will be one of the most extraordinary recitals ever to take place in Shreveport."
