We're thrilled to welcome Camden Shaw to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Semester 1, 2027 as Senior Lecturer in Cello.
Shaw is the cellist of the two-time Grammy-nominated Dover Quartet, which BBC Music Magazine has named one of the greatest string quartets of the past 100 years.
He joins the Conservatorium from the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, where he teaches alongside his fellow Dover Quartet members.

From a recital at @texascellos ! Love this sonata, especially on my XXL cello. As some of you already know, Sam Zygmuntowicz made this cello for me based on the Castelbarco Strad, 1697, back when cellos were much larger than they are today (and much larger than the Strads of just a few years later.) The B tuning really expands the depth of the instrument in an intoxicating way. #cello #sound #sonata #vibrato #meditation

One of the most beautiful and unique cello solos- from Bartok 4. Iāll post the rest of the solo soon! Live from Series of Four in Copenhagen a few years ago- with the #doverquartet of course!

Understanding Schubert š§
In the Schubert trio solo, Shaw teaches us about the importance of finding certain colors for the melancholy character.

The āFolksinessā in the Brahms Quintet š»
Camden Shaw shows why the Brahms Piano Quintet solo comes alive when your rhythm isnāt in lockstep with the piano. On paper the sixteenths match, but if you line them up perfectly the line turns stiff.

This traditional Christmas song is honestly an AMAZING piece of music. I hope at least 3% of you will listen to the end- the writing is just Amazing. I had the sudden urge to record it last night- I will make no apologies for my wool socks and clothes in general lol! Iām off grid in my cabin and itās what I was wearing š
Anyway- this melody has some of the most beautiful color changes- (that high C# when the sun comes out???) it almost feels like a Schubert song at times (I almost did the intro to Ave Maria at the beginning because it feels so similar!)
Anyway, happy holidays everyone. Cheers to what the beauty of music can do for the soul.

I use my face sometimes as a finger!
Iām definitely not afraid of slides- but ātransportationā slides (NOISES, rather than expressive shifts) are to be avoided. Here in Mendelssohn Op. 44 # 3 the same motif is played 5 TIMES in a row- and if you donāt go up the C string, you STILL make an ugly slide in order to play the A-flat on the G string.
I donāt do this often, but I will confess that in the @doverquartet Beethoven cycle recordings I used my face in 4 instances. And I stand by them all!!
