James Griffett’s solo career has taken him all over Europe, South America, India, Hong Kong and Japan, singing in international festivals and recording for radio, television and in the studio, with an extensive list of oratorio and recital CDs.

He is particularly known as a soloist on the oratorio platform, with baroque repertoire such as Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers, Bach’s Johannes-Passion and Handel works featuring strongly. He is on three CD recordings of the Vespers and has sung the piece over a hundred times, with choirs such as the Tolzer Knabenchor, Aachener Domchor, Montserrat Choir of Spain and King’s College Cambridge. As the founder of Pro Cantione Antiqua, many of these performances have been with this soloist-ensemble.

Alongside his performing, James gives masterclasses nationally and internationally; his teaching has included the universities of Oxford, Nottingham and Newcastle and the Antwerp Conservatoire, and currently the talented young Choral Scholars at Bradford Grammar School, a group he founded some ten years ago, and Northern Youth.
