Tom Dunn was born in Yorkshire and studied on the Joint Course at Manchester University and the Royal Northern College of Music. Since then he has held Co-Principal Viola positions with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Mozart Players and from 2011-2014 was Principal Viola in the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

Tom has also appeared as Guest Principal Viola with many orchestras including the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the English Baroque Soloists, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and John Eliot Gardiner's Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique.

He is very lucky to play on a viola made in 1690 by Matthijs Hofmans.
