Graham Walker has a flourishing career as a solo and chamber musician, playing at numerous festivals and other venues throughout Europe and the US. Graham was first a chorister and later a choral scholar of St John’s College, Cambridge, where he took a degree in Mathematics. In 2000 he took up a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied cello with Lionel Handy and baroque cello with Jennifer Ward-Clarke.

Graham is cellist of the Farrington Ensemble, the British Camerata, Janiculum, and Classico Latino (a piano trio performing classic Latin-American music with whom he recently made a hugely successful tour of Colombia, selling out the Bogotá Opera House and subsequently being offered a major recording contract). Highlights of his work as a continuo player include Charpentier’s Acteon under Emmanuelle Haïm.

Principal cellist of Opera East and the Pepys Ensemble, Graham is a regular deputy for the ROH and the BBC NOW, and has trialled for the ENO, RSNO and BSO. He has recorded variously as a cellist, singer and conductor for EMI, Chandos, Nimbus, Quillisma and Naxos. In 2005 he undertook his debut recital tour of the USA and has just returned from performing all of Bach’s cello suites there. www.grahamwalker.org.uk
