Chapter House was formed in 2018 by Grammy-nominated artists Peter and Sarah Walker, in order to bring old tales to new audiences. Firmly grounded in scholarship and tradition, the duo is dedicated to rediscovering and reinvigorating the connection between song and story. Chapter House has been featured on concert series presented by Gotham Early Music, the Society for Historically Informed Performance, and the Grammy-nominated Skylark Vocal Ensemble. Peter Walker is a critically acclaimed singer and award-winning piper who performs with ensembles in the U.S. and abroad. He has lectured on early music at Vassar College and Case Western. Sarah grew up in the Appalachian storytelling tradition, and has performed extensively in her home state of West Virginia and throughout New England. She holds degrees in medieval studies, art history, and library science, and is a children’s librarian in Connecticut.
