James Gilchrist began his working life as a doctor, turning to a
full-time career in music in 1996. "....he is now unsurpassed amongst
lyric tenors in sweetness and technical security, and for his musical
intelligence" The Independent
His
phenomenal career spans opera and concert performances, along with 20
recordings. As a recitalist, James has appeared with Malcolm Martineau,
John Constable and Julius Drake (Concertgebeouw, Amsterdam). In his
partnership with the pianist Anna Tilbrook, he has performed Schumann,
Finzi, Poulenc, Tippett and Britten for BBC Radio 3. He regularly
invites new commissions, and in partnership with the harpist Alison
Nicholls has premiered works by Howard Skempton, Nichola LeFanu, and
Alec Roth (settings of Vikram Seth), and with the Nash Ensemle at
Princeton University and the Wigmore Hall.
