James Bingham is a conductor, animateur and producer. He has been described by the Sunday Times as ‘unashamedly messianic’ about classical music inclusion and accessibility. He currently works full time for Irish National Opera as their Studio and Outreach Producer. James also blogs at senseofpitch.com. James' previous experience includes conductor of Opera North Children's Choir, conductor of Brighton Festival Youth Choir and assistant conductor for the National Children's Choir of Great Britain.
