Prolific and versatile Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene. Regularly featured across BBC Radio 3, BBC 6Music, Classic FM and KEXP, his music has been listened to in excess of 40 million times across online platforms.
A frequent performer across the UK and Europe, his music and live performances reflect the extremes of human experience - at times, gentle, calm and still; powerful, boisterous and energetic at others.
Whilst a recent release, Imprints, features a set of piano miniatures representing everyday fleeting moments and brief snapshots in time, his current tour showcases a range of music from across the first ten years of his career as solo artist, composer and performer, and his latest physical release 'Remnants: 2015-2024.'
Interwoven with insightful stories and wry self-deprecation, Simeon’s ‘sophisticated and elegant’ (Piano & Coffee) introspective instrumentals invite listeners to find stillness, beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves. In a complicated, scrolling-fuelled, “always-on” modern world, his ‘sublime, assured and immersive compositions’ (Letting The Light In) offer a moment of escape from the busyness of everyday life.
With a keen focus on breaking down perceptions of what classical-inspired music is and who it is for; live music fans of any age or background are warmly invited to share this opportunity for genuine connection through music.
