As a composer, Cooman has created a catalog, ranging from solo instrumental pieces to operas and from orchestral works to hymn tunes (www.carsoncooman.com). As an organ recitalist, Cooman specializes in the performance of new music. More than 150 compositions by more than 100 international composers have been written for him.
