Graham Walker enjoys 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,
La Nuova Musica and Classico Latino (a piano trio performing classic Latin-American music
with whom he has twice toured Colombia, selling out the Bogotá Opera House and being offered
a contract by Sony). Highlights of his work as a continuo player include Charpentier's Acteon
under Emmanuelle Haďm.
Principal cellist of Opera East and the Pepys Ensemble, Graham is a
regular deputy for the ROH and the BBC NOW, and has performed with the ENO, RSNO and BSO.
He has recorded variously as a cellist, singer and conductor for EMI, Chandos, Nimbus,
Quillisma and Naxos. In 2008 he undertook his second recital tour of the USA, where he
performed all of Bach's Cello suites, an achievement he repeated across the UK, including
during the Edinburgh festival. He gave his solo debuts on Radio 3 and at the Concertgebouw
and Birmingham's Symphony Hall in 2009.
