James Newby is a former BBC New Generation Artist and Rising Star for Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. He was nominated by the Barbican Hall for the European Concert Hall Organisation Rising Star scheme and will be presented by them in recitals throughout Europe in the 22-23 season.
A recipient of the Richard Tauber Prize for best interpretation of a Schubert Lied at the 2015 Wigmore Hall/Kohn International Song Competition, James has since enjoyed a close relationship with the Hall. A 2022 highlight is performing Die Schöne Müllerin with Simon Lepper.
The release of his debut solo CD Wonder as I Wander on BIS Records in 2020 with pianist Joseph Middleton was the winner of the Diapason d’Or Découverte and described in Gramophone Magazine as “a performance that sets the tone, announcing Newby as an impressive artist”.

Other important role debuts in Hannover include Guglielmo Così fan tutte and the title role in Eugene Onegin. Future opera plans include debuts with Opera National du Rhin and Liceu Opera Barcelona.
