About Thomas

Professional cellist, composer and multi-instrumentalist living in West London.

Cellist

Acton, London

Thomas Shelley is a versatile and adventurous musician, equally as comfortable premiering new works as he is with period-performance practice. Following studies in Oxford/London (Raphael Wallfisch, Moray Welsh), in the USA (Hans-Jorgen Jensen) and in Hannover (Tilmann Wick), he now resides in London and pursues a busy career with a strong emphasis on new music. He plays on a modern cello by Wolfgang Schnabl

Thomas' Reviews

5 out of 5

Thomas was outstanding, and all the guests at our garden party commented on what a lovely touch it was to have him performing. Thomas was easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, and did a spectacular performance. Very happy indeed, and we shall use him again!

What an absolute virtuoso

Thomas Shelley's solo was an example of refined beauty, oh so rarely heard
