Sir James MacMillan first burst into prominence in 1990 with The
Confessions of Isobel Gowdie. A steady stream of works has
followed, with commissions from many of the world's major
orchestras. A prominent part of his work is his religious
composition, which includes settings of both the John and Luke
passions, Tu Es Petrus (for the 2010 papal visit to Britain) and
numerous smaller choral pieces. His works are heard all around the
world - Seven Last Words from the Cross has been performed in 24
countries since its premiere in 1994, and his Stabat Mater received
a private performance at the Sistine Chapel in 2018. He is a
trenchant commentator on a wide range of political, social and
theological issues, many of which spring from his commitment to the
cultural life of Scotland. He is a passionate advocacy of community
involvement in music and set up the burgeoning music festival The
Cumnock Tryst in 2013. Much of his music reflects his strong
Scottish roots and interest in all aspects of musical tradition.
