Travis Baker - Director of Music
A native of Melbourne, Australia, Travis Baker is considered to be one of the finest organists of his homeland.
His music tuition began at the age of seven and he continued studying in Melbourne where he gained his B.Mus. (Performance) with Honours in 2001. Travis became Assistant Organist at St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne, and during this time performed as soloist with an array of Australian orchestras as well as being Director of Training Choirs for the Australian Children’s Choir.
Travis is now based in England studying with world-renowned concert Organist, Dame Gillian Weir. His recital career takes him throughout the UK and mainland Europe, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. 2010 saw Travis touring as far afield as New Zealand and a six-week tour of the USA and he toured the U.S.A again in 2015. His growing reputation led to an invitation to perform the 2011 Annual Opening Concert for the Organ Club of Great Britain and in 2016 the world premiere of a work commissioned by the Eric Thompson Trust.
As a Certified Master Teacher, Estill Voice Teaching Systems, Travis has worked with Estill Voice Systems in London, Australia, New Zealand and Northern Ireland.

He holds the position of Director of Voice at Millennium Performing Arts College, working with renowned voice specialist Mary King.
