Wallis Power has carved out a multifaceted performing career in both in her home city of London and abroad. Equally at home as a soloist, orchestral musician and chamber player, Wallis also enjoys teaching cellists of all ages. 

As an undergraduate, Wallis read music at Pembroke College Cambridge, where she was an Instrumental Award Holder, active soloist, chamber musician and principal cellist of The Cambridge University Chamber Orchestra. While at university, Wallis took lessons with Melissa Phelps. She graduated with a Masters in Performance with distinction from the Royal College of Music in July 2019, during which time she studied under Richard Lester.

As a freelance orchestral cellist, Wallis regularly plays with ensembles including The Philharmonia, London Sinfonietta, The City of London Sinfonia, The London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Orchestra of The English National Opera.

Wallis is a founding member of the Brompton String Quartet, with whom she won the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition in 2019. They were Park Lane Artists from 2020-2021 and have performed for music societies around the UK and at prestigious venues including Conway Hall, Kings Place, St Martin-in-the-Fields, The Red House Aldeburgh and St James’s Piccadilly. They made their debut at London’s Wigmore Hall in June 2021.

In April 2022, Wallis made her Concerto debut at the Easter Endellion Festival with a performance of Errollyn Wallen’s Cello Concerto. She recently appeared as a soloist with Her Ensemble as part of the CrossCurrents Festival in Birmingham and looks forward to performing the Bach Cello Suites across venues in London. Upcoming Quartet highlights this year include an appearance as part of The Chiltern Arts Festival on 11th May and a tour to Slovenia in July.
