James Nathaniel Holland is the music world's best kept secret.  Born and educated in America's heartland, he began composing music when he was only 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 his talents to enhancing the drama of the stage.

At 40 years of age, he is the author of many works for full length opera productions, instrumental chamber music, choral and vocal music, and now venturing into larger, more mature works.  Where he has finished his first piano concerto and is currently working on his first symphony. He is presently based in Costa Rica.
