Award-winning and acclaimed as "stunning and emotive" (Eugene Register-Guard), Cameron O’Connor enjoys a diverse career in solo, chamber, and contemporary music. Recent highlights include solo and duo recitals throughout Japan; chamber and opera appearances with Eugene Opera and musicians of the Oregon Symphony in their Classical Up Close concert series; live radio features in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Worcester; as a chamber music soloist at the New World Symphony in Miami (for which the South Florida Classical Review noted that he was “especially effective in the quick and diabolical figures”); appearing as a guest artist and performing duos with Sharon Isbin at the Aspen Music Festival and School; and appearing under the baton of composer Tan Dun in his Eastern-tinged Concerto for Six. He is furthermore a prizewinner in many international competitions, including the Frances Walton and Tokyo International Guitar Competition.
