He’ll be playing an eclectic mix of works for solo percussion, along with some pieces with electronics – featuring music from Emmanuel Sejourné, Dave Maric, Miyoshi, Debussy, Piazzolla, Michael Gordon and some brand new original compositions!

James has also performed Richard Rodney-Bennett’s Marimba Concerto live on BBC Radio 3 with the BBC Philharmonic under the baton of John Wilson and has featured at the Royal Festival Hall, as the soloist in ‘The Bloodless Giant’.

His debut album ‘Polarity’ is available now, and his compositions are published by Bachovich Publications.
