James Willshire – Music Director
The choir will be conducted by James Willshire in his first public concert since taking over as Music Director in January. But James is no stranger to public performances. He is an experienced music teacher and an outstanding concert pianist in his own right. Heralded for performances of “spectacular musicianship and technical brilliance” (The Scotsman), “evangelizing urgency” (International Record Review) and “freshness and lucidity” (The Herald Scotland), James Willshire has performed at the BBC Proms, live on BBC Radio 3, and at the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican, Bridgewater Hall, St John’s Smith Square, Purcell Room, Glasgow City Halls, Queens Hall Edinburgh, Perth Concert Hall, St George’s Bristol, Caird Hall and the Fairfield Halls.
James is Head of Keyboard at Clifton College, and a member of the Keyboard Department faculty at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
James will be performing two solo pieces midway through the sets by the choir: Ravel’s “Pavane pour une infante defunte” and Frank Liszt’s “Paysage”.
