Conductor
Holborn Community Orchestra
Next Concert: 1st July 2023 'American Epics' | St. George's Bloomsbury - London UK
Based in the centre of London, the Holborn Community Orchestra greets audiences with a diverse range of classical repertoire. Check out our website: www.hcorchestra.co.uk . Our next concert features Beethoven's Symphony no.7, selections from Strauss' 'Salome' and the Nabucco Overture.
Having moved recently to Valencia, James has founded the 'Video Game Arts Orchestra', an ensemble that will dedicate itself to celebrating video game repertoire in Spain and across Europe. Thanks to connections made during his tenure at the London Video Game Orchestra, this project is poised to launch at the beginning of 2025 with a string of concerts and educational programs. More information coming soon.
Below you can find more information about James' projects leading up to his move to Spain earlier this year.
