Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light on the modern classical scene.
Alongside a busy performance and touring schedule across the UK and Europe, in recent years he has supported a variety of high-profile artists, performing notable live sets at Latitude, Timber Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and the inaugural edition of SXSW London.
Simeon’s music is regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and ClassicFM, and has received listening figures in excess of 50 million streams across platforms. His piece ‘Reverie’ (2022) notably features on the first official Piano Day compilation by the LEITER label, alongside modern classical luminaries Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Chilly Gonzales.
Simeon has received commissions from BBC Radio 4, University of Leeds, TheModern House and Centro de Artes e Espectáculo de Portalegre (Portugal) and works with dancers, artists, painters, filmmakers and writers to bring stories to life via musical and creative collaboration.
With a background in classical music alongside a keen interest in jazz, folk and ambient music, Simeon’s diverse and varied creative output coupled with his informal, invitational and warm-hearted approach to live performance reflects the extremes of human experience and emotion, aiming to bring people together around the joy of shared musical experiences.
Encompassing moments of quiet, gentle solitude through to boisterous, flowing exuberance, Simeon’s music invites listeners to gather around the piano; to find beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves.
