JAMES ATKINSON baritone, SIMON LEPPER piano

This will be James’s debut solo recital at NNMF, delayed from 2021, but many will remember his “An die ferne Geliebte” with the Carducci Quartet last year.

James Atkinson has recently completed his studies at the Royal College of Music Opera Studio where he studied with Alison Wells and sang leading roles in several productions.

This year he has been singing Masetto for Welsh National Opera on their spring tour.

He will give recitals at Oxford Lieder, Lewes, at the English Son Weekend with Iain Burnside and in Messiah at Leith Hill Music Festival in Surrey. 

He will travel to Japan to take part in two performances of Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast at Suntory Hall, Tokyo and in Kanagawa with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
