About this person

Frances James, also known by her married name Frances James Adaskin, was a Canadian soprano who specialized in concert repertoire. A prolific performer, she appeared on CBC Radio and as a recitalist from the late 1920s through the 1950s, premiering works by Canadian composers and championing the works of contemporary international composers. Her performances were noted for their musical intelligence and sophistication. James's artistry was admired by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Paul Hindemith and Darius Milhaud. While her performances, both live and recorded, were mainly of the concert repertoire, she did perform in some operas including the 1929 premiere of Healey Willan's ballad opera, Prince Charlie and Flora.
