About Gary Stoker
Having begun my DRSAMD course at the Royal Scottish Academy Of Music & Drama in 1986 (now the Royal Conservatoire Of Scotland); I studied piano with Lawrence Glover and Gustav Fenyo but studying conducting with John Mauceri led to an interest in theatre after which I moved to London spending a year as a freelance musician and taking singing lessons from Ian Adam before spending a year as a post graduate at the Guildhall School Of Music & Drama.
After Guildhall I spend the next 20 years as a professional actor/singer in opera and musicals as well as time as a professional music director, pianist and keyboard player.
One of my long term projects has been dragged out of a box and is currently in development; a new musical based a short story by HP Lovecraft; I’ve secured a publishing deal on two novels, The Bird Man and Vampyre Cove and have entered into a discussion about a third book, Church which is a fictional work about MI6 and the occult.
I’ve completed a new compilation show based on one of my favourite musical theatre writers which will begin performance in September 2025; All About Sondheim. My other compilation show One Day More will be at venues throughout the UK from September 2025.
Was recently appointed Director Of Music to the charity Theatre Voices.
