Cameron is a dedicated 4th year violinist currently pursuing his craft under the tutelage of Benedict Holland at the Royal Northern College of Music, with whom he first began studying with at Chetham’s School of Music in 2018. With a wealth of orchestral experience under his belt, he has flourished as members of the Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra, National Children’s and Youth Chamber Orchestra, Chetham’s Symphony Orchestra, Symphonia Verbum Orchestra and the RNCM Symphony, Chamber and Opera Orchestras. During his time at the RNCM, he has also performed regularly as a soloist and chamber musician. In his first year, he received the Cowen Prize for Violin, and recently performed in a masterclass with Yuri Torchinsky, Leader of the BBC Philharmonic. Cameron recently served as the orchestral leader, manager, and producer of the new contemporary opera "Capsule" by David Bicarregui, which premiered in April 2024. Under his skilled direction, the production was a huge success, earning widespread acclaim for its innovative approach and captivating performances. The success of "Capsule" has attracted the support of an arts patron, ensuring that this groundbreaking opera will be performed in London. Cameron’s leadership and dedication played a pivotal role in bringing this exciting project to life, showcasing his commitment to music and the arts. Whether you’re seeking a classical style, modern flair or a unique blend of both, Cameron tailors his playing to meet the requirements of your event. He can assure his versatility will allow him to create your ideal atmosphere, accommodating any requirements to make your gig one to remember. Looking ahead, Cameron eagerly anticipates continuing at the RNCM for two more years at Postgraduate level.

Cameron is a promising violinist full of passion for his craft. His recent recital I attended was a delight to watch. Throughout Cameron’s varied program of De Falla, Delius and Bernstein showcased his attentiveness to the stylistic details and a kaleidoscope of musical colour. Cameron’s musical skill was matched by his charming and engaging stage presence. I am very excited to watch this talented individual’s career develop.
