Thomas Walker
Tenor
Thomas Walker began his musical career as a brass player: as a child he played the trumpet, which he later exchanged for the tuba. After graduating with honours from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a bachelor's degree in tuba, he switched to singing. At the Royal College of Music in London, he studied with the renowned tenor Ryland Davies.
After his studies, Walker quickly developed into a much sought-after opera and concert singer with a broad repertoire, with a particular fondness for the Baroque and Classical periods.
