David Sinden is an organist and conductor noted for his “centered leadership and solid musicianship.” In 2015, he was appointed as the Organist and Director of Music at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, St. Louis, where he plays the church’s 56-rank Mander organ. His recording with the St. Peter’s Choir, Longing for Home (Regent Records, 2020), was met with widespread acclaim. 

​Mr. Sinden has served as an organist for two Association of Anglican Musicians conferences: Richmond, 2022, and Washington, D.C., 2014. As organist for the American premiere of Herbert Howells’s “By the waters of Babylon,” Mr. Sinden was lauded for playing “that not only brought out the depth of the text, but also created a feeling of ensemble between the assembled forces.” His ten-hour performance of John Cage’s Organ²/ASLSP is believed to be the longest solo performance in Richmond, Virginia.

​Locally, he has performed as an organist with the Bach Society of St. Louis, Early Music Missouri, the Kingsbury Ensemble, and the St. Louis Chamber Chorus. 

​Mr. Sinden has previously served as Organist and Choirmaster of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia; Assistant Organist and Choirmaster of Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal), Indianapolis; Organist at St. Thomas Lutheran Church, Bloomington, Indiana; and Assistant Organist and Choirmaster at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Lakewood, Ohio. He also worked for three summers as Organist and Choirmaster at Lake Delaware Boys’ Camp in the Catskill Region of New York.

​An active promoter of the organ and its repertoire, Mr. Sinden has held leadership positions in several chapters of the American Guild of Organists and is the Secretary/Treasurer of the Organ Media Foundation.
