Jack Campbell is on a mission to bring the grand tradition of violinist composers back into the public eye with his remarkable international tour. Tour Link: Here
The Canadian based musician, at only 21, is about to embark on a 6-country tour – The Contemporary Violin of Jack Campbell – across Canada, UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and France. Across his performances, Campbell will demonstrate his prodigal talents in a celebration of the top composers of today’s classical world.
As Jack describes it, “it is my great passion to expose audiences to the cutting edge of musical sound
worlds. I believe that classical music should interact with visual arts, dance, theatre, and popular music and incorporate this into my concerts and stage act.”
Though heavily inspired by the greats that came before him, Jack brings a youthful energy to the scene by incorporating modern technologies to push the medium forward. In his latest video, Jack performances in a parkade with 10 second natural reverb, creating a harmony quite like any others. The animated performance is presented in a distorted view of life action footage, demonstrating visually his love of the old, but with a new twist.
The Contemporary Violin of Jack Campbell may be the young artist’s first tour but he has already been making waves in the classical scene. To date, he has received glowing reviews from the lieks of Centre Culturel Canadien Paris, Tricity News, Stir Magazine and more.
