A resident of both New York City and the Shenandoah Valley, cellist James Wilson has been a familiar face in the Richmond music scene since 1990. Mr. Wilson was artist-in-residence at the University of Richmond from 1990 to 2000 as a member of the Shanghai String Quartet. He also taught in the Music Department of Virginia Commonwealth University from 2001 to 2004. In the summer of 2004, Mr. Wilson relocated to New York City, where he maintains a busy schedule of performing and teaching. That same year, Mr. Wilson helped form the Chamber Music Society of Central Virginia to promote the ongoing performance and love of classical chamber music. CMSCVA remains an important and creative part of Mr. Wilson’s life, and keeps him active in a city that remains dear to his heart.
