 Period Violinist

Cameron has always been passionate about the clean, earthy qualities of refined baroque playing. He has performed as soloist with both of Melbourne's major baroque ensembles, Genesis Baroque and Melbourne Baroque Orchestra and lead projects with both of these groups. He's also played as associate concertmaster of the Australian Haydn Ensemble and Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra.

Whilst pursuing self education through the seminal texts, Cameron travelled to Italy, in 2017, to attend the International School of Improvisation directed by Davide Monti with rhetoric lectures by Francesca Gualandri.

This came after studies in 17th and 18th Century Performance Practice under Peter Roennfeldt with rhetoric lectures by Gregory Massingham at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Cameron has received additional baroque performance direction and tutoring from Lucinda Moon, Shaun Lee-Chen, Rachael Beesley, Stephen Freeman, Matthew Greco and Ben Dollman performing alongside all of these artists.

He also performs period violin as part of Bach Akademie Australia, Ludovico's Band, Canberra Bach Ensemble as well as with the Woodend Winter Arts Festival Orchestra and as a professional in the University of Melbourne's early music ensemble.

Cameron is the first violinist of the Melbourne Classical Quartet and frequents other period chamber ensembles including leading Ludovico's Band.

Cameron plays a baroque violin by Mark Soubeyron in 2014 modelled on a violin by Stainer previously belonging to Elizabeth Wallfisch. Cameron's earlier baroque bow is by Marcos Nogueria in 2025 and his late baroque bow is by Solange Chivas circa 2012. His classical bow is by Matthew Coltman circa 2000
