Cameron Shahbazi

**Cameron Shahbazi** is a Persian-Canadian countertenor celebrated for his rich, expressive voice and compelling stage presence. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1992, he studied at the University of Toronto and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, later becoming a standout in baroque and contemporary opera. He’s performed roles like Tolomeo (*Giulio Cesare*) at major venues including Dutch National Opera and the Karlsruhe Handel Festival, and starred in modern works like George Benjamin’s *Written on Skin*, praised for his “angelic elegance to Luciferian charm.” His recent collaborations include performances of Giordani’s *Caro mio ben* and Ghiasian’s *Lalaee* (featured on Deutsche Grammophon’s *Musical Moments*), alongside George Benjamin’s *Picture a Day Like This*. Recognized with awards like the Opus Klassik for his benefit concert *Woman.Life.Freedom.*, Shahbazi balances classical precision with boundary-pushing projects.

**Extra note**: The listed releases (*Musical Moments* recordings) align with Shahbazi’s documented collaborations, though specific release dates for these tracks aren’t detailed in the sources. Always verify release timelines with official platforms if critical for publishing.
