Kyle-Walker

A strong advocate for social equality, critically-acclaimed pianist Kyle P. Walker believes music can speak to social issues better than verbal language can, the understanding of which he brings to both traditional Western repertoire and that of the living world-wide composers with whom he collaborates. His performances have been featured on media broadcasts including The Green Space at WNYC, WQXR’s McGraw-Hill Financial Young Artists Showcase, NPR’s Public Radio East, NPR’s 1A, and UNC-TV. He has been featured in solo recital at New York’s Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, and in performances at The Apollo Theater, The Kennedy Center, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frist Museum of Art, The Tantaloona Cave of Australia, and the Lied Center of Kansas. 

Walker is a founding member of The Dream Unfinished, an activist orchestra which supports NYC-based civil rights and community organizations through concerts and presentations. As an arts activist and educator, he has presented residencies and masterclasses at various institutions such as The University of Dayton, The University of Virginia, The Harlem School of the Arts, The Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and the Music Educators workshop of Carnegie Hall. In addition to teaching at Lucy Moses School at Kaufman Music Center, Walker is also on piano faculty at Fort Lee School of Music, and on the chamber music faculty of The Artist Program at Suzuki on the Island. Mr. Walker received his Masters of Music from Mannes College, The New School for Music. He holds degrees in piano performance from East Carolina University’s A.J. Fletcher School of Music, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He has studied with Thomas Sauer, Benjamin Hochman, Keiko Sekino, Henry Doskey, and Clifton Matthews.
