James Nathaniel Holland is the music world's best kept secret (wink!).  Born and educated in America's heartland, he began composing music when he was 10 years of age.  Holland's music has grown by sheer perseverance, optimism, and hard work with little praise or recognition as of yet.   His music is an eclectic blend of the classical music tradition, world music and the vitality of jazz. His strong points as a composer are setting a mood for his audience and painting sound with vivid orchestral colors.   This lends to enhancing the drama of the stage with the music as centerpiece.

At 42 years of age, he has authored of many works for full length opera productions, instrumental chamber music, choral and vocal music, and is now building a repetoire of larger works.  A classically-trained, professional tenor and an accomplished pianist as well, he is currently based in Costa Rica.
