From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarah Walker CBE (born 11 March 1943 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire) is a British mezzo-soprano.
Walker's grandparents were members of the Hallé Choir, and her aunt (Madame Annie Walker) was a notable soprano in the early 20th Century.
She began her musical studies as a violinist at the Royal College of Music, from there she went to study singing with Vera Rozsa. She rapidly achieved recognition and has spent most of her professional career as a concert soloist and recitalist.
Her professional debut was reportedly at the Wigmore Hall, and she has since toured Europe, the Americas, Australia and elsewhere.
