Timeline

1975

James Edward Rhodes (born 6 March 1975) is a British-Spanish concert pianist and writer, and an activist for the protection of minors against sexual abuse in Spain.

James Edward Rhodes was born into a middle class Jewish family in St John's Wood, North London.

He was educated at Arnold House School, a local all-boys private preparatory school.

There, he experienced sexual abuse by his PE teacher, who died before he could appear in court.

Rhodes suffered mentally as well as physically, including spinal damage, eating disorders and PTSD.

Aged 7, he found a cassette tape of Bach-Busoni Chaccone in his father's music collection.

"Above all, it made him feel like even if it seemed as if the world really was a hostile and appalling place, it couldn’t be that bad because something this beautiful existed in it."

He started to take piano lessons at the age of 14, but did not progress formally beyond Grade 3.

First moving to a local boarding school, he was educated at Harrow School, where he studied under piano teacher Colin Stone.

It was during this period that he entered the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, but failed to make it past the second round.

1993

In 1993, he was offered a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, but his parents insisted that he attend a “proper university”.

At the age of 18, Rhodes would quit playing piano for 10 years.

A fan of the Russian pianist Grigory Sokolov, Rhodes wrote to Sokolov's agent Franco Panozzo in Italy, with the idea that Rhodes would become a music agent himself.

Panozzo responded, and after Rhodes sent him a bottle of Champagne Krug, the pair arranged to meet in Italy.

After hearing Rhodes play one of Frédéric Chopin's études, Panozzo arranged for Rhodes to study under the renowned piano teacher Edoardo Strabbioli in Verona, Italy for three to four years.

However, after a period Rhodes was institutionalised.

2008

Rhodes's first public recital was at Steinway Hall in London, on 7 November 2008.

His second recital was at the Hinde Street Methodist Centre, London, on 4 December 2008.

2009

He performed his first full scale concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, in London on 6 February 2009.

In May 2009, Rhodes performed a solo concert at The Roundhouse in Camden, the first classical musician to give a solo recital since the reopening.

Rhodes has also played Proud Galleries in Camden; 100 Club in Soho; Tabernacle, Notting Hill and the nominations launch for the Classical BRIT Awards 2009 WITH NS&I.

2010

In March 2010, Rhodes became the first core classical pianist to be signed with the world's largest rock label Warner Bros. Records.

In March 2010, Rhodes performed at the Holders Season 2010 in Barbados.

In Summer 2010 he was the first solo classical pianist to play the Latitude Festival sharing stages with acts such as Florence + the Machine and The National.

2011

In 2011, Rhodes became a regular culture blogger for The Telegraph, and had popular articles in The Guardian Music Blog in 2013.

In September 2011 he performed alongside Stephen Fry in A Classical Affair at the Barbican Centre.

He has since released three more albums.

Rhodes had his US debut in September 2012 at the International Beethoven Festival in Chicago.

He has performed in some of the world's greatest concert halls, selling out the Elbphilharmonie twice, the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Teatro Real, both the Palau and the Belles Artes Valencia, and halls in Argentina, Colombia, America, Europe and Mexico.

2015

In 2015 Rhodes's autobiography, Instrumental: A Memoir of Madness, Medication and Music, was blocked from publication by a temporary court injunction prompted by his former wife.

She said that publishing the book, which includes details of sexual abuse as a child, would psychologically harm their child.

In May 2015, the Supreme Court decided in Rhodes v OPO that the book qualifies for free speech protection and lifted the interim injunction.

2016

He has published three more books since then: How to Play the Piano in 2016 and Fire on all Sides in January 2018.
