“[Vohr] played . . . with absolute virtuosity, enthralling listeners with a brilliantly creative wealth of improvisational material. . . . Particularly striking is the inherent logic and elegance with which Vohr integrates [ostensibly disparate musics] into his own compositional approach. Alongside vertiginous washes and cascades of sound, listeners were fascinated by the highly differentiated structures of his compositions.” -Ulrike Turner, Kulturforum München-West (translated from German)

Cameron Vohr is a Berlin-based saxophonist and improvising composer working within a diverse international community of musicians pursuing a genre-eclipsing, carte blanche approach to the creation of new music. Performances over the past decade have brought him to stages across Europe, North America and Asia. At sixteen, Vohr was accepted into the music department at the University of Washington as the youngest saxophonist in the history of that institution and studied there with Prof. Michael Brockman of the Seattle Symphony from 2010 to 2012. In 2012, Vohr was recognized as a YoungArts National Winner, joining a cohort Executive Director Paul T. Lehr described as “a diverse group whom we consider to be the most promising young artists in America today.” At the end of 2012 Vohr moved to New York, where he completed a bachelor’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music with Ellington alum Joseph Temperley and clarinetist Alan Kay of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. In 2019, Vohr completed a master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München under the supervision of New Music iconoclast Prof. Michael Riessler. Vohr is a first prize recipient of the Gasteig Wettbewerb 2018. Vohr’s recording debut, Abandon Moderation, a fifty-six-minute collection of seven original pieces for solo saxophone, will be released in 2023.
