Neilson, James

The elements of song (words and music) unite in the life and work of James Neilson Graham. Literature came first (degrees, journalism and short stories), before he encountered Valborg Werbeck-Svardstrom s School of Uncovering the Voice and embarked upon singing studies in England and Germany. With the Trinity College Licentiate (music education) under his belt and lengthy spells coaching in Finland and teaching singing in England and Iceland, James has developed a pioneering approach to the art of choral conducting with the emphasis on the needs of singers.
