North Carolina (NC) - World renowned concert organist Carlo Curley
will appear in concert at St. Philip's Episcopal Church located on
Dry Street, Tuesday, May 10th at 7:00pm. Admission is free.
Carlo Curley is one of the
world’s foremost concert organists. Born into a musical family in
North Carolina (USA) in 1952, he attended the North Carolina School
of the Arts and coached privately with renowned pedagogues Arthur
Poister and Robert Elmore. Ultimately, he studied with two of the
world’s greatest organists: America’s legendary Virgil Fox and Great
Britain’s Sir George Thalben-Ball. Early in his career, he was
invited by the President to play at the White House, and made
history as the first classical organist to give a solo organ recital
there.
Today, he tours the world,
having played in every state and province in North America and
Canada, as well as Europe, Asia, Australia and Hong Kong. His recent
concert tour of Japan with the King’s Singers, sponsored by Rolex,
was warmly received and a sell-out everywhere. Carlo Curley has
played before crowned heads of Europe, including the late Princess
Grace of Monaco, the Princess Royal of England, and several Command
Performances for the Danish Royal Family. He has made private
recordings for the Sultan of Oman.
Wherever he goes, Carlo
Curley’s charismatic personality inevitably finds its way onto TV
and radio. His network TV appearances in the United States, England,
Australia and Japan are well known. In England, Mr. Curley has made
innumerable appearances for the BBC including organ spectaculars
from the Cathedrals at Ely, Lichfield, Norwich, Guildford and
Gloucester. Recently CLASSIC FM broadcast live his concert at
Westminster Abbey, given in aid of the Abbey Choir School and the
Royal School of Church Music.
Carlo Curley records
exclusively for Decca International, including CDs and the
first-ever commercial video of a classical organ performance, Organ
Imperial. His recordings have been voted “Best of the Month” by
Stereo Review in the USA, “Record of the Year” in Scandinavia,
“Laser Disc of Exceptional Merit” by FM Fan in Japan, where his CDs
enjoy particularly brisk sales.
