Erin James
Biography
Erin James is a multidisciplinary artist who seeks to dance the intersection between music, visual art and text through her work combining textiles and the violin. Her musical interests range from baroque to contemporary and she thoroughly enjoys any piece that is singable or danceable. Erin is equally at home as a chamber musician, soloist, theatre artist and orchestral player and her career has taken her across Asia, Europe and North America.
She is as passionate about transforming garbage into art as she is about transfiguring works from the classical music repertoire so that they are more vibrant and accessible. Erin is currently completing an early music Masters degree at McGill University which will round out her list of qualifications including a Doctoriate from the University of Alberta, a Masters degree from the Royal College of Music in London, a Bachelors degree from UBC and a Diploma in Fashion Design from George Brown College.
