Guest recital: James Giles, piano

James Giles regularly performs in important musical centers in America, Europe, and Asia. In 2019 he toured in Denmark and performed recitals in Toronto, Paris, Naples, Budapest, and Manchester, England. US dates included recitals in Atlanta, Dallas, Tampa, Des Moines, Bloomington (Indiana), and Chicago. As a chamber musician he appears at the Tucson Chamber Music Festival and the Dempster Street Pro Musica in Chicago.

In an eclectic repertoire encompassing the solo and chamber music literatures, Giles is equally at home in the standard repertoire as in the music of our time. He has commissioned and premiered works by William Bolcom, C. Curtis-Smith, Stephen Hough, Lowell Liebermann, Ned Rorem, Augusta Read Thomas, Earl Wild, and James Wintle. Most of these new works are featured on Giles's Albany Records release entitled American Virtuoso. His recording of solo works by Schumann and Prokofiev is available on England's Master Musicians label. He recorded John Harbison's Horn Trio with the Chicago Chamber Musicians and recently released a recording with the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic.
