The Son of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer George Walker and African-American women’s music scholar Helen Walker-Hill, Gregory T. S. Walker is an assistant professor at the University of Colorado at Denver and concertmaster of the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra. Since his debut performing with the Colorado Symphony on a borrowed Stradivarius in 1996, Walker has been featured on CRI, Orion, Leonarda, and Albany label recordings. An American Academy of Arts and Letters Charles Ives Fellowship recipient in 2000, his Dream N. The Hood for Rapper and Orchestra has been described by the Minneapolis Pioneer Press as An American Masterpiece. Walker’s creative range extends from his appearance in Guitar for the Practicing Musician to multimedia performances featured at the Sonic Circuits International Festival. Electric Vivaldi will be the first recording of this work to feature an electronic violin. The Four Seasons contain musical illustrations of the composer's poems that lend themselves to the illustrative sound effects possible with electronic technology, and Walker's electronic interpretation at the Colorado Music Festival in 2002.
