Camille Jones
A passionate collaborator and advocate for the arts, Camille Jones has worked with various festival orchestras and chamber groups, including the National Orchestral Institute and Festival (NOI + F) and Bowdoin International Music Festival. In the fall of 2018, she curated Voices Unheard as a concert series at the University of Maryland which celebrates works by women composers and composers of color. After its success, she was awarded the M-Cubator Grant by the School of Music Faculty to continue growing the series. In 2019, Camille was the recipient of the Sphinx Orchestral Futurist Fellowship at NOI + F where she received real-world arts administration experience and worked alongside the festival’s director, Richard Scerbo. Some of her work as a Fellow included commissioning works and curating a professional development workshop for K-12 students in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Camille collaborated with professional Black and Latinx artists for this event - including the composer Carlos Simon, Sphinx competition laureates Melissa White and Elena Urioste, and music director of Play on Philly, Andres Gonzales. Camille received her B.M. in Violin Performance in 2020 at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in violin at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Fun Facts: I like to sing and play the ukulele sometimes, I like cooking, and I'm obsessed with dogs/animals, particularly my two pug-beagle mixes.
