James Westwater

Westwater_James_&Orchestra.jpgThrough the innovative integration of live symphonic music and multi-image projected photography, James Westwater has created a new art form, photochoreography. For over 30 years, Westwater has performed his symphonic photochoreography as a guest artist, appearing with numerous orchestras, including those of Saint Louis, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Seattle, Portland, Saint Paul, Houston, Denver, Milwaukee, Vancouver, and Singapore. Westwater's initial performance piece—set to Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 7—Sinfonia Antarctica, was premiered by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra in 1973. Twice a National Endowment for the Arts Resident Artist, Westwater has photographed in Alaska with the Byrd Polar Research Center and in Antarctica as the National Science Foundation's Artist-in-the-Antarctic. His artistic credentials include an award-winning front cover for Saturday Review magazine and the publication of a highly acclaimed book of photography.
