James Sinclair


James Sinclair is among the world’s pre-eminent scholars and champions of the music of Charles Ives. He is the Executive Editor for the Charles Ives Society, supervising the work of Ives scholars throughout the United States. In 1999 Yale University Press published his nearly 800-page A Descriptive Catalogue of the Music of Charles Ives. The Association of American Publishers cited the catalogue as the best publication of 1999 in arts scholarship; ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) gave the book its Deems Taylor Award Special Citation for writing on the arts.

James Sinclair has been the music director of the New Haven (CT)-based Orchestra New England since its founding in 1974. His versatility in delivering superb performances in styles ranging from the Baroque to the pops literature has driven the remarkable success of Orchestra New England.

Sinclair is currently recording for the Naxos label the complete orchestral music of Charles Ives with orchestras in the UK, a forthcoming eight-CD set. Maestro Sinclair has served as music director for four PBS television documentaries including the Peabody Award-winning film about Ives, A Good Dissonance Like a Man.
