James Rhodes — iEncore!

1 month
3 weeks ago

In a classical exclusive at HSBC Cheltenham Music Festival on Tuesday, James Rhodes played his encore using the latest technology in place of traditional paper music.

Classical pianist James Rhodes, famed for his prodigious talent and rock star attitude, performed a sell-out recital of Bach, Beethoven and Chopin. Following rapturous applause he opted for a Chopin prelude as his final encore. James didn’t have his sheet music to hand, so instead turned to his new tablet computer, found an app with the Chopin score, and played from this. To turn the page, all he had to do was tap the screen.
