James Rhodes (2)

James Rhodes is a man on a mission to debunk the idea of stuffiness that can surround the world of classical music. Dubbed 'the Russell Brand of piano', the revolutionary pianist's number one iTunes debut album, Razor Blades Little Pills and Big Pianos reflects his personal struggle with rehab and psych wards. Bach, Beethoven and Chopin became his solace.

This evening James will play works by Schubert, Chopin and Blumenfeld. His iconoclastic approach weaves stand-up anecdotes about his life and those of the composers into his performance, offering an immersive experience that has won him a dedicated new following.
