Additional Info:	James Longford studied at the Royal College of Music in London where he won the Tagore Gold Medal, the Walford Davies Organ Prize and all the accompaniment prizes. His postgraduate studies there were supported by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. He was organ scholar at St Martin-in-the-Fields, was awarded the first RCM Legal & General Junior Fellowship in 2000, and has been the principal keyboard player of the groundbreaking orchestra Southbank Sinfonia since their inception seven years ago. As a collaborative pianist, his work with a variety of singers, instrumentalists and ensembles has taken James to many major UK venues, including the Barbican Hall, Wigmore Hall, Royal Opera, Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room, English National Opera, Glyndebourne, Westminster Abbey, St David’s Hall Cardiff, Snape Maltings and the London Palladium; he has also performed abroad throughout Europe, the Middle East, the US and the Baltic States, and has broadcast on BBC Radio, most notably live from Wigmore Hall on Radio 3 with Ann Murray. James was recently on the music staff for On the Rim of the World, a new opera by Orlando Gough – a six-month project which culminated in a performance by over 200 primary schoolchildren and their parents on the main stage of the Royal Opera House. James is one half of the acclaimed longfordbrown piano duo with New Zealand pianist Lindy Tennent-Brown. They are laureates of several major international competitions and are fast becoming one of the UK’s foremost two-piano teams, recently giving two acclaimed performances of Poulenc’s Concerto for two pianos at Wiltshire Music Centre under Gerry Cornelius.
