GUEST ARTIST: WALTER GRAY
Walter Gray has been a member of the Seattle Symphony for over 40 years! During that time he has been featured as soloist with the orchestra several times. “Gray played with his usual intensity and flair…the cello’s lyrical possibilities are realized.” (The Seattle Times) He has also performed as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Far East. Last season Mr. Gray premiered the revised version of Ken Benshoof’s Concerto for Cello and String Orchestra.
He was a founding member of the Kronos Quartet and for over five years presented hundreds of concerts including numerous world premieres. Mr. Gray’s expanded contemporary music adventures have included working with Pearl Jam, Dave Mathews Band, Queensrÿche, Heart, and David Lanz. He has recorded works of John Cage, Paul Schoenfield, Jake Heggie, and Chinary Ung and produced recordings for the London Symphony, Seattle Symphony, New Hampshire Music Festival and numerous solo and chamber musicians.
Mr. Gray has taught at SUNY Geneseo, Mills College, Western Washington University, and the University of North Texas. He is a regular guest at many institutions and last year gave masterclasses at Western Washington University, the University of Louisville, and “Cello Slam” at DePaul University. In the summer he makes regular appearances at the Olympic, Marrowstone, New Hampshire, and Grand Teton Music Festivals.
