Performance Notes | 2008/2009 saw classical pianist James Rhodes' profile go from complete unknown to rising star, attracting celebrity followers such as Stephen Fry and Sir David Tang. Having performed in non-traditional classical venues such as the 100 Club, the Tabernacle and Proud Galleries, James built on this new revolutionary performance approach. The pinnacle performance being at London's historical Roundhouse where he was the first classical pianist to perform since it's reopening.
In March 2010, Rhodes became the first core classical pianist to be signed to the world's largest rock label Warner Bros Records. His 1st album with Warner Bros, Bullets & Lullabies will be released in Dec 2010.
James was featured in October 2010 in the BBC Four documentary: CHOPIN: THE WOMEN BEHIND THE MUSIC . He will be presenting and performing in his very own television series JAMES RHODES: PIANO MAN on Sky Arts this December and January of 2010.
James will be signing copies of his new CD after the performance |
