"The Legacy of Andrei Sychra" James Akers, seven-string guitar

Critically acclaimed musician James Akers was hailed as ‘the great Scottish guitarist’ by Classical Guitar Magazine and, in a review from Gramophone, his playing was described as, ‘containing all the warmth, colour and expressive richness one could hope for.’ James has, throughout a varied career, explored music from a historical and stylistic perspective, combining diligent research with expressive performances to communicate the continuity of musical endeavour through the centuries. James has performed throughout Europe, the Middle East and Australia. Mr. Akers has performed on numerous recordings, film soundtracks, theatrical stages, and broadcast widely. He lectures in early plucked strings at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
