Simeon Walker
Versatile and prolific Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning 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 including Neil Cowley, Submotion Orchestra, Erland Cooper and LYR - the musical project of Simon Armitage - and performed notable live sets at Latitude, Timber Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.
Regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and ClassicFM, his music has received listening figures in excess of 45 million streams across platforms, whilst his piece !Reverie’ notably features on the first official Piano Day compilation (2022) by the LEITER label, alongside modern classical luminaries Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Chilly Gonzales.
“A singular and enchanting hour” - The Fringe Review
“Sublime, assured and immersive compositions” - SY Gigs
“Remarkable stage presence and command of the instrument “ - Modellbahn Music
“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

Natalie Wildgoose
Her ghostly take on folk tradition carries the powerful, rarefied qualities of an unearthed archive recording, so much so that you can almost blow the dust from it.
Writing and recording her new EP ‘Come Into The Garden’ on various pianos across the Yorkshire Dales using her grandfather's old reel-to-reel tape recorder, she seeks to uncover the past; to reconnect with and capture the environments of the places and people that surround her.
