McVinnie has had major concerto and solo works written for him by Sam Adams, David Chalmin, artist Martin Creed, Bryce Dessner, Hildur Guðnadóttir, David Lang, Tom Jenkinson/Squarepusher, Nico Muhly, Richard Reed Parry, Tristan Perich, Gabriella Smith amongst many others.

McVinnie’s performances were — musically, technically and in his careful colorations — immaculate.

Los Angeles Times

James directs the ‘James McVinnie Ensemble‘, a collective of virtuoso keyboardists dedicated to exploring work often preoccupied with political themes by contemporary and emerging composers. The ensemble’s roots go back to 2017 with a performance at London’s Barbican Centre of Music in Twelve Parts by Philip Glass—the only performance in the piece’s history given by anyone other than the Philip Glass Ensemble.

He’s an extraordinary player. He finds ways to develop a sense of what the organ can do by exploring very, very contemporary avant-garde repertoire.
