About Us
Our Story
Voices Unheard is a student collective that uplifts underserved artists by cultivating spaces in which their work is valued and celebrated. Voices Unheard strives to build community by partnering with local schools, commissioning new works, and curating inclusive concert programs within the nation’s leading music schools. Voices Unheard bridges the gap between what’s considered “standard” and non-traditional music by implementing innovative arts programs within a traditional classical music setting. Through our efforts, we hope to empower underrepresented artists to be unapologetically themselves.
Founder + Executive Director
A passionate collaborator and advocate for diversity in the arts, Camille has worked with various festival orchestras and chamber groups, including the National Orchestral Institute and Festival (NOI + F) and Bowdoin International Music Festival. Camille was also the recipient of the 2019 Sphinx Orchestral Futurist Fellowship at NOI + F where she received real-world arts administration experience and worked alongside the festival’s director, Richard Scerbo.
Some of her work as a Fellow included commissioning works and curating a professional development workshop for K-12 students in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Camille collaborated with professional Black and Latinx artists for this event - including the composers Carlos Simon and Erica Telisnor, Sphinx competition laureates Melissa White and Elena Urioste, and director of Play on Philly, Andres Gonzales. In the fall of 2018, she curated Voices Unheard as a concert series at UMD that celebrates works by women composers and composers of color. After its success, she was awarded an M-Cubator Grant by the School of Music Faculty to continue growing the series. Camille Jones received a B.M. in Violin Performance in 2020 at the University of Maryland, College Park and an M.M. in Violin Performance in 2022 from the University of Michigan.
