James Rhodes is to classical music what Jamie Oliver is to food – Edgy and passionate about his art with an ability to inspire others. If you saw the maverick pianist on the powerful Channel 4 documentary Notes from the Inside last year, where he played piano to psychiatric patients, and his current Channel 4 Series Don’t Stop the Music where he goes into schools and looks at our music education, you were likely to be first in the queue for tickets for his concert in Octover at Watford Colosseum. His technique is stunning, his presentation fun.
Rhodes believes that music can change people for the better, And he should know, his piano playing was his own therapy when he suffered from severe depression.
In October 2014 James released his 5th studio album Five with works by Bach, Beethoven and Chopin and his new Channel 4 series The Great Instrumental Amnesty airs this autumnwww.jamesrhodes.tv www.facebook.com/jamesrhodespiano
