James Jordan
James Jordan has performed as an organ accompanist and soloist throughout the United States, Eastern and Western Europe, and was one of the first American organists to concertize in Siberia. Cited as performing both "authoritatively and sensitively" by the Boston Globe, and by the American Record Guide as a "superb performer," Jordan is currently Artist-in-Residence for the Gloriæ Dei Artes Foundation, and frequently performs and records with the choir, Gloriæ Dei Cantores as organ soloist, accompanist, and assistant conductor.

Jordan earned his Bachelor of Music Degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, studying with Robert Anderson and acting as accompanist for the University Choir. As a student of David Craighead, he received his Masters Degree, Doctorate and Performer's Certificate from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. While in Rochester, Dr. Jordan served as Choirmaster/Organist for Parkminster Presbyterian Church. He also worked as a teaching assistant in the music theory department of the Eastman School, and accompanied the Eastman Chorale and Eastman-Rochester Chorus.

Jordan has published in the American Choral Review and was a contributing author to American Sacred Choral Music- An Overview and Handbook (Paraclete Press, 2001). Jordan is a past Dean of The Cape Cod Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, and holds membership in the musical fraternities Pi Kappa Lambda (National Honorary Music Fraternity) and Mu Phi Epsilon (International Professional Music Fraternity). He resides in Orleans, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
