For three decades, John V. Sinclair has presided over the Bach Festival Society’s artistic programming, growing the organization’s Choir, Orchestra, artistic reputation, and audience.
To honor this important anniversary, the Board of Trustees has established The John V. Sinclair Endowed Fund for Artistic Direction.

“John’s tenure has established a standard of excellence and professionalism recognized by his peers and patrons alike. As it grows, the fund will provide income to support the highest quality of the next and subsequent directors,” said Chairman of the Board Eric Ravndal.

The first phase of fundraising generated over $183,000 in gifts from the Board, Choir, Orchestra, Staff, and a few close friends of the Society. This fund provides an essential step toward securing the Society's future by permanently supporting a portion of the conductor's annual compensation. A subsequent fundraising effort will engage the broader community.

“This endowment, in recognition of my work, is truly humbling, and I am grateful to those who have made it possible and also grateful for the Society’s vision of musical excellence,” said Sinclair.
