Short Biography
Born in Germany but moving to the UK at an early age, Jamie Walton has performed as soloist with many great orchestras such as the London Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestras, making his debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in ‘13/14.

He recently performed Lutosławski’s concerto in Poland and made his Finnish debut in June ’13 at the Riihimäki Summer Concerts Festival. He gives his South American debut playing Schumann’s concerto with the Santiago de Chile SO in Autumn 2014 alongside making debuts with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Calgary Philharmonic and BBC National Orchestra of Wales in season ‘14/15. He has already appeared throughout much of Europe, the USA, New Zealand, Australia and the UK playing concertos, recitals and broadcasting in some of the world’s most eminent venues. As a recording artist for Signum Records he has recorded ten concertos with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, including those of Dvořák and Schumann with Vladimir Ashkenazy, most recently in Russian repertoire with Okko Kamu and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Jamie is as passionate about chamber music as he is as a concerto soloist, recording much of the cello repertoire for Signum Records to significant critical acclaim which includes Britten’s complete works for cello.

His activities as a player are accompanied by his role as Founder and Artistic Director of the North York Moors Chamber Music Festival which he launched in 2009.
