Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning modern classical scene. He has supported a variety of high-profile artists including Neil Cowley, Submotion Orchestra, Loscil, Erland Cooper, LYR, Sophie Hutchings and Jasmine Myra, performing notable live sets at Latitude, Timber Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and the inaugural edition of SXSW London.
Encompassing moments of quiet, gentle solitude through to boisterous, flowing exuberance – this is music composed and performed from the heart; simultaneously capturing a sense of open, spacious landscapes and grandeur, paired with sincerity, intimacy and warmth. Listeners are invited to gather around the piano; to find beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves, as tender, expressive and heartfelt musical stories are woven engagingly together, delivered with a uniquely delicate touch and a self-deprecatory wry smile.
“For those who aren’t generally fans of classical music, this new movement offers a modern take that reconnects us with the beauty of the piano and how composers like Simeon Walker can use it in different ways to convey what it is that makes us human” – Louder Than War
