James Ross is a Scottish pianist and composer whose music is inspired by the rich tapestry of traditional music he grew up with in the Highlands. He blends this with influences from classical music to create innovative compositions.
“Gorgeously compelling” (Sunday Herald); “Sublimely lyrical melodic gifts” (The Scotsman); “He will charm you, take you on day dreams, impress and take your breath away” (FolkWorld).
His new album, “Landscape to Light”, is a series of compositions for piano and string quartet. It draws inspiration from the remarkable landscape, folklore, and history of the North of Scotland. He is joined for this album by the Maxwell Quartet.
