> Hayley Walters A.G.S.M
   Oboe & Cor Anglais

I studied the oboe at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, from 1981 - 85, with Anthony Camden. After leaving there, I freelanced in London with many orchestras, including The London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Philharmonia, BBC Concert, English Sinfonia, English National and Royal Ballets. Conductors I played for include Andre Previn, Sir Yehudi Menhuin, Sir Colin Davis, Yuri Temirkanov, and Michael Tilson Thomas.

I was also the Cor Anglais player for 10 years for the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, playing a wide variety of music, from tours to Japan and Korea with Henry Mancini, to"Classical Spectacular" performances at the Royal Albert Hall, backing tracks, pop videos, and various product launches. As a member of The London Virtuosi, I also had the chance to be a soloist, playing many Baroque concertos in Europe and the Far East.

I worked extensively in London's West End Theatres, deputising in the shows; Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, Martin Guerre, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Crazy for You, and A Little Night Music at the National Theatre. Later, I also had my own chairs in the West End, starting with Carousel at the Shaftesbury Theatre, then Fiddler on the Roof, with Topol at the London Palladium, the award winning Oliver, with Jonathan Price, again at the London Palladium, and ending with Disney's Beauty and the Beast at the Dominion Theatre.
