In anticipation of the launch of Warsaw Sessions, Cameron and Sophia Muñoz sat down with Joanna Olekszyk for an indepth interview in Zwierciadło Magazine.

Cameron Shahbazi was named one to watch in an extended interview by Kara Becker for Vogue Polska’s Summer July/August Issue. Click here to read the interview online.

Cameron jumps in with short notice as the title role for two concerts of G.F. Handel’s Tolomeo, re d’Egitto with the Basel Chamber Orchestra and Il Giardino Armonico under the baton of Giovanni Antonini. The concerts took place in Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) and the Palau de la Música Catalana (Barcelona).

“Giulia Semenzato (Seleuce) and Cameron Shahbazi (Tolomeo, replacing Franco Fagioli at short notice) showed how much colour and feeling can be incorporated in the coloratura and recitatives, and I have seldom heard two voices blend so splendidly in duet… [Shahbazi] created quiet intimacy in the ariosos ‘Tiranni miei’ and ‘Stille amare’, in which his final words, ‘La morte’, were breathtaking.” — Opera Magazine 

Cameron took home the prestigious Opus Klassik award for Innovative Concert of the Year for his brainchild Woman.Life.Freedom. a benefit concert for human rights in Iran. The event took place on December 12, 2022 at the Oper Frankfurt. All proceeds went to the non-profit organization Abdorrahman Boroumand Centre, which has been campaigning for more democracy in Iran for many years and documents the human rights violations committed there. The recording of this concert is currently available as a stream on Deutsche Grammophon’s STAGE+.

“I wore my hat and brooch by the incredible Berlin-based Iranian designer, Maryam Keyhani, who I’m lucky to call a friend. Her art overcomes trauma and sadness with fantasy, magic and pure creativity. She dares to make her dreams tanglible and encourages us to wear it as armour.” 

Cameron executive produces and performs in a special concert, recorded live at Oper Frankfurt in December 2022, raising awareness and support in aid of Human Rights in Iran. Cameron is joined by other musicians with Iranian roots and performers passionate about the cause from around the world for a diverse programme featuring poetry readings and works by Iranian composers alongside music focusing on women – their suffering and hopes for freedom.
