Hello! I’m David Sinden, an organist and conductor in St. Louis, Missouri.

I am the Organist and Director of Music at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in St. Louis. I am also a Teacher of Applied Music (Organ) at Washington University in St. Louis, and I offer organ lessons for students of all ages.

At St. Peter’s, I play the church’s 56-rank Mander organ, one of the largest mechanical-action organs in St. Louis. I also play the church’s four-rank Mander organ, one of the smallest mechanical-action organs in St. Louis.

As it turns out, my whole career has involved playing mechanical-action organs in Episcopal Churches in states bordering Kentucky.

There are three choirs I direct at St. Peter’s:

• The St. Peter’s Choir, a semi-professional choir,

• the St. Peter’s Singers, a professional choir,

• and the St. Peter’s Choristers, a chorister program for young people affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music.

I write a weekly email newsletter, a blog, and you can follow me on Twitter or Bluesky.

If you make music in an Episcopal Church, you might be interested in my list of mistakes that have appeared in the Hymnal: Hymnal 1982 Errata

I am often asked where one can find my Carol Service Spreadsheets.

I co-host a podcast called All Things Rite & Musical with the Rev. Ian Lasch. All Things Rite & Musical is about liturgy and music from our Episcopal/Anglican perspective. To listen, visit riteandmusical.org.
