Walker Williams is an eclectic composer from rural West Virginia, whose compositional style runs the gamut from conservative tonality to avant-garde performance art (admittedly with an overall tendency towards writing ‘pretty music’). Walker holds a D.M.A. and M.Mus. in composition from the University of British Columbia, and a B.A. in music composition from Shepherd University in West Virginia.

As a white settler, Walker has benefitted from the ongoing act of colonization in both the United States and Canada, and would like to acknowledge this fact. Walker’s upbringing and education has taken place primarily on the homelands of the Massawomeck, Manahoac, and Musqueam people.

Walker’s compositions have been performed throughout Europe and North America, including the US National Saxophone Symposium, the Alba International Music Festival, the Vancouver Sonic Boom Festival, and the Blackstad in Residence program (Sweden). In 2019, Walker's Vandalia for string orchestra was selected as the audience favourite at The EAR classical concert in New York City.
