'Ensemble Liaison's artistry is so attuned to animated and songful gestures... the musicians are supremely refined'
– Gramophone

Born in Canberra, Australian guitarist Campbell Diamond is widely recognised as one of the leading guitarists of his generation. He studied in Germany, Switzerland, and Siena, and was recently appointed Professor of Guitar at the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität of Music in Linz, Austria. He has won over thirty prizes in international competitions, including first prize at the Vienna International Guitar Competition (2019); the Koblenz International Guitar Competition, Germany (2017); the Golden Classical Music Awards Competition, USA (2020); and the Arpoador International Guitar Competition, France (2019).

Ensemble Liaison is one of Australia's most captivating trios, renowned for their eclectic programming and synergistic collaborations. Described by Limelight as a 'national treasure', they regularly appear at Australia's premier festivals including the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, the Melbourne International Arts Festival, the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival and the Woodend Winter Arts Festival. Since its inception in 2007, their popular 'Ensemble Liaison & Friends' series (co-presented with the Melbourne Recital Centre) has showcased a star-studded array of guest artists, including Ray Chen, Nemanja Radulović, Henning Kraggerud, Emma Matthews, and Tim Munro. In September they add Campbell Diamond to that impressive list, and we're particularly glad there'll be an opportunity to hear them together at UKARIA.
