James Brice B. Ed (Mus), L. Mus A, A. Mus A

New South Wales

After commencing his musical studies

on euphonium at the age of eleven,

James graduated from the University

of Melbourne, where he completed a

Bachelor of Music Education majoring

in Music Education, Instrumental

Performance and Drama. James was

fortunate to study ‘Conducting and

Ensemble Direction’ with Lt. Colonel Barry Bignell.

After recording and producing his solo CD ‘Symphonic Variants for

Euphonium’ in 1995, James moved to Sydney in 1996, to accept

the Principal Euphonium/Trombone position with the R.A.A.F. Air

Command Band (1996-2007). Throughout his celebrated eleven

year career, James performed extensively throughout Australia and

overseas, with numerous Symphonic Wind Bands, Big Bands,

Parade Bands, Brass Quintets, Tuba Quartets and Solo Recital

concerts with highlights being 'Tour De Force Concerts' in Dili-Timor

(2000), Sydney Olympics Closing Ceremony (2000), Gallipoli

ANZAC Commemoration Services (2002) and two ‘Live to Air

Broadcasts’ on ABC 'Sunday Live' (2003-2005).

With twenty years professional teaching, performing and conducting

experience, James is a highly sought after conductor, educator and

adjudicator throughout Australia who has been invited to adjudicate

many State and National Eisteddfods in recent years.

James has recorded, conducted and produced several CD

recordings of note, ‘ABC Live’ recordings, solo recitals for 2MBS

FM, a solo euphonium CD ‘Symphonic Variants for Euphonium’ in

1995, Australian and International web based recordings for

Manhattan Beach Music & Reed Music, four Knox Grammar School

CD recordings featuring the Knox Symphony Orchestra &

Symphonic Wind Ensemble, four Castle Hill RSL Youth Wind

Orchestra specialist recordings and the 2008 international release

of ‘Wild Nights’ featuring the North West Wind Ensemble,

generously assisted by the Australian Government through the

Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

James has been privileged to work with many Primary, Secondary

and Tertiary students throughout Australia and overseas prior and

during his appointment as Musical Director of the Castle Hill RSL

Youth Wind Orchestra, the North West Wind Ensemble and Friday

Night 'Live' Big Band in 2005.

In addition to these achievements James is currently the Director of

Instrumental Performance at Knox Grammar School, where he is

the ‘Conductor in Residence’ of the Orchestral and Wind Band

Program co-ordinating an Instrumental Program of 430 boys since

2008.

As Musical Director, James has led the Castle Hill RSL Youth Wind

Orchestra, North West Wind Ensemble, Knox Symphonic Wind

Ensemble, Knox Concert Band and Knox Year 7 Wind Band to a

staggering thirty one New South Wales State and Australian

National Championship title performances since 2005.

This year, James was appointed the Musical Director of the 2012

New South Wales Band Association State Youth Concert Band

having just returned from the bands’ New South Wales Regional

Tour. Fostering sound community values, together with exceptional

musical experiences was paramount to the resounding success of

this recent initiative.

James is delighted to have been invited to adjudicate at the 2012

Tasmanian Band Championships and wishes every band all the

very best for their performances this weekend.
