Arthur W.alenn was born in Lon don, was educated at All Saints' Choir School, and at the R.A.M. He began as a viola player, and was soon engaged in the orchestras of the opera and concert rooms. With his sister and two younger brothers he formed the Walenn quartet of strings, and gave concerts ; but an excellent baritone voice developing, he, by the advice of Sir A. C. Mackenzie, devoted himself to singing, and the combination was broken up. After a course of study under G. Henschel, he made his debut at the morning concerts at the Queen's Hall, in November, 1895, afterwards being engaged for the London Symphony Concerts. He has since been heard in many provincial centres, and has fairly established a reputation. Charles Walenn, the next brother, born in London, 1869, is also a baritone singer, and has for some years been a member of the D'Oyly Carte No. 1 Company.
