Cameron Alan-Lee

With a refreshing blend of thoughtfulness and spontaneity, Cameron Alan-Lee’s unique music making has captivated audiences around the world. At the heart of his praxis lies a dedication to music’s unique capacity for connection—to oneself, to musical colleagues, and to the public. Cameron spent many formative years performing in varied locations across the globe, from senior care facilities in California, to regional orchestras in Michigan, to the street markets of Paris and Florence. While attending the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles from 2009-2016, he studied privately with Chan Ho Yun and Aimee Kreston and was a founding member of the award winning Chimera Quartet. In 2016, Cameron and his quartet were awarded top prizes at the St. Paul String Quartet Competition, the WDAV Young Chamber Musicians Competition, and the inaugural MPrize Chamber Music Competition.

In addition to competing and performing nationally and globally, Cameron has also participated at summer festivals such as the Montecito Summer Music Festival, Yellow Barn Young Artists Program, Aspen Music Festival, Encore Chamber Music, Banff Evolution Chamber and the St. Lawrence String Quartet Seminar.

In 2020, Cameron earned a Bachelors of Music in violin performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music under the tutelage of Jaime Laredo, Stephen Rose, and Jinjoo Cho. He furthered his studies at the New England Conservatory in Boston under the guidance of Ayano Ninomiya from 2020 to 2024, during which he received his Masters of Music. Outside of music, Cameron loves cooking, plant care, cycling, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with family and friends.
