Jeremy Cameron, section violinist

I have been with the Temple Symphony for the entire 24 years I have lived in Texas. Basically, half of my life at this point.

The opportunity to continue doing and sharing something that has been a major part of my life for the vast majority of my life with others.

Violin and fourth grade, so around 8 or 9.

Dr. Rebecca Burkhardt with conducting and Dr. Julia Bullard with violin and viola performance. Both helped me stretch my skills and talents on many levels that I have been able to share with so many people.

Principal insurance agent for the J. Cameron Group in Temple. Working on older cars, home remodeling, gardening, Water activities/sports.

I really enjoy driving down the highway at a raging 45 mph with the top down and 80’s music blarring on the radio.

Tchaikovsky Serendade for String Orchestra. It brings the effervescence of life into sound. It is sound that makes you feel.

Definitely do it. It will do so much for you on many levels and will pay dividends down the road, and it is also NEVER too late to get started or to pick it back up.

You are going to see members of your community on stage doing something magical in a way that brings a whole new dimension to the listening experience.

I am hoping that they find a new or enhanced appreciation for live musical performance and a desire to continue to take in live performance.

Being a member is more than just the music, it is part of creating something bigger than the sum of the individuals.

Aside from practice? Have a nice solid, but not heavy, meal. Do not let myself overthink the on stage aspect and keep nerves at bay and remind myself to have fun.

There really is not very much that I do not enjoy. I do look forward to good covers by instrumental groups.

This is definitely a hidden gem in Central Texas that needs to be shared with everyone. You cannot find something of this caliber just anywhere and we have it right here at home.

Music and creativity has been a solid foundation for every stage of life for me. I cannot imagine what life would be like without it for anyone because it speaks to the deeper areas of the mind, heart, and soul where words fail.

Creative, Expressive, Passionate
