Message received from Princeton, NJ: August 15, 2017 Dear ABS Community, I am writing with difficult news about the American Boychoir School. Over the course of the summer, our anticipated enrollment for the 2017-18 school year declined unexpectedly. Students whom we had expected to return decided not to do so, and our recruiting efforts for new students failed to materialize at the levels we had seen in recent years. At present, we believe we would have only 19 to 21 boys with which to open the school in three weeks. This is at best the bare minimum for us to be able to present a professional choir that is up to our standards. In addition, at that level of enrollment, the amount of tuition we can expect to collect, after taking into account substantial grants of need-based financial aid, would be sharply lower than we had anticipated.

American organist Cameron Carpenter is a charismatic musical genius and provocateur who hates labels, is fiercely bisexual and proud of revolutionizing the organ world - which he insists he really isn't a part of. A four-year-old keyboard prodigy in a non-musical family, Carpenter trained at the American Boychoir School at age 11 before attending the University North Carolina School of the Arts when he was just 14. Two Juilliard degrees later, Carpenter would go on to revolutionize classical music in 2014 with his cross-genre digital international touring organ built by Marshall & Ogletree.

Touring Organ To Receive First Local Exposure
[…] Believe it or not, Cameron Carpenter was a student with the American Boychoir. Is there any venue in Boston where you would like to play on pipes? There are lots of Boston organs that demand at least a long afternoon, and I wish I had time for all of them. The organ at Trinity Copley Square, for instance, was one of my “childhood” organs that I occasionally played as a student at the American Boychoir School in the early 1990s, and many of its sounds are used in the International Touring Organ, along with several other great Boston organs. But if by “play on pipes” you mean perform publicly, then no, I’d prefer to perform on my organ. Your M&O goes way beyond the Rodgers Touring Organ that Virgil Fox brought to rock venues in the ’70s. Does it allow you to prerecord various lines so that you […]
