Cam Kjøll is an internationally sought-after chamber musician, soloist and orchestra leader. After many years as 1st concertmaster of the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and then in the same position in the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, they have continued their career as guest concertmaster all over the world, with several engagements, including with the WDR Symphony Orchestra (Cologne) and the Houston Symphony Orchestra.

In recent years, they have participated in several international festivals and have been a soloist with, and leader of, the largest chamber and symphony orchestras in Norway.

Their solo performance in the The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet in the demanding stage role in Alban Berg's "Lulu" received rave reviews. So did the premiere and recording of Mark Adderley's violin concerto, which was written for Kjøll.

In addition to being employed as a violin and chamber music teacher at the Barratt Due Institute of Music 2013–2017, Kjøll is now a professor at NTNU and 1st concertmaster of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra since 2024.
