A "shining tenor" (New York Classical Review), James Reese is a frequently sought tenor soloist with leading orchestras and ensembles throughout North America. James maintains close relationships with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, the American Bach Soloists, The Sebastians, TENET Vocal Artists, the Washington Bach Consort and the Boston Early Music Festival. In the 2023-24 season, he looks forward to debuts with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, Bach Collegium San Diego, and Symphony Nova Scotia, and to performances across North America, Belgium, Scandinavia, and Germany. In 2023 James won a Grammy award as a soloist on Born, released by The Crossing, singing the music of Edie Hill. Praise for James' singing have called his performances "captivating" (The Broad Street Review) and "splendid" (San Francisco Chronicle). He is a graduate of Northwestern University and Yale University, and he lives in Philadelphia.
