James Lisney (born 6 May 1962) is a British concert pianist. He studied with Phyllis Sellick and John Barstow – and early success was achieved after he gained representation by the Young Concert Artists Trust. He has gained particular distinction for his collaborative work with Emma Kirkby,[1] Alexander Baillie[2][3] and Paul Barritt,[4] and has appeared as soloist with many major orchestras.

In the early 1980s he arranged the music for several of Jeff Minter's games for the Commodore 64,[5] including Hover Bovver, Revenge of the Mutant Camels, and Sheep in Space.

Since 2000 he has pioneered two major initiatives: an innovative series of concerts at London's South Bank called Schubertreise[6] - a concept that he has adapted to various other cyclic presentations in other European venues; and a record company called Woodhouse Editions to add to his previous discography on companies such as BIS, Olympia, Naxos, Carlton and Somm.

In 2009 he made his US debut with a short residency at Carnegie Hall[7] and consolidated his work in the Netherlands with a solo debut at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.
