James Iman

American pianist James W. Iman has distinguished himself as a specialist in the music of the 20th and 21st centuries and frequently performs music of the Second Viennese, Darmstadt, and New York schools. 

His advocacy of New Music has given him the opportunity to work directly with composers in preparation of their works. He has given several United States and World Premiers, including the recent United States Premier of Gilbert Amy’s labyrinthine Sonate pour Piano.

In 2015 he joined the artist roster of ZeD Classics and 2016 will see the release of his debut album. 

He is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Music. He holds an MA in Piano Performance and a BA in Music History and Piano Performance from the university. While at IUP he studied piano with Judith Radell and James Staples.
