James Gilchrist is one of the UK’s leading tenors. An enthusiastic and prolific exponent of lieder, he enjoys nothing better than putting together interesting and challenging recital programmes, many of which he has performed with pianist Anna Tilbrook, with whom he has collaborated for over 25 years. His impressive discography includes the Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel, Schubert and Schumann song cycles, Finzi, Bach and Britten. Recent performance highlights include the role of Rev. Adams in Britten’s Peter Grimes at the Paris Opera, Rome Opera, Teatro Real, Madrid and Royal Opera House. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, St John and St Matthew Passions feature prominently in his schedule and he is celebrated as perhaps the finest Evangelist of his generation.
