Grammy-nominated Conductor James Jordan is recognized and praised throughout the musical world as one of America’s preeminent conductors, recording artists, writers, music psychologists, innovators and master teachers in choral music. Daniel Hyde, Conductor of The Choir of King’s College Cambridge has described choirs conducted by Jordan as “The Rolls-Royce of Choirs.” His innovations in both choral pedagogy and conducting pedagogy have been lauded worldwide, and he has effectively led changes in choral conducting and pedagogy that have impacted choral music and conducting around the world.

Resources authored by him are considered to be essential references in the conducting profession around the world. Jordan is Professor of Conducting and Director of Choral Studies at Westminster Choir College of Rider University where he holds the Scheide Chair in Conducting. He serves as the 7th conductor of the renowned 103 year-old Westminster Choir and the Westminster Symphonic Choir.
