Camille Thurman
To call Camille Thurman talented doesn’t quite capture all her facets. As a composer, she’s a two-time winner of the ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award. As a vocalist, she was runner up in the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition. And as a tenor saxophonist – who also plays bass clarinet, flute, and piccolo - Thurman spent two seasons with the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis, becoming the first woman in 30 years to tour and perform full time with the band (2018-2020). During the pandemic, Thurman also led a live-streamed Q&A virtual support talk show dubbed The Haven Hang, for young women and non-binary artists.
