Cameron Sinclair is a Scottish composer, conductor and percussionist based in London.
He trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the University of Sussex, studying composition with Martin Butler and Jonathan Harvey. He works with orchestras including the Philharmonia, Glyndebourne and Chamber Orchestra of Europe. [1]
In 2001 he was awarded an International Fellowship from the Arts Council of England to become Artist in Residence at Cittadellarte, an institution in Northern Italy dedicated to cross-disciplinary work directed by world-renowned visual artist Michelangelo Pistoletto. He collaborated with other members of Unidee to create new work based on Pistoletto's philosophy of 'art at the centre of a responsible transformation of society [2] ', which was exhibited at Mukha in Antwerp, the Shedhalle in Zurich and for Cittadellarte's Arte al Centro exhibitions in Biella and Turin.
He was director of the Vietato L'Accesso Festival, which took place in Biella, Italy, in September 2003. The festival was devised in collaboration with visual artists, architects, environmentalists and local food producers. The series of events - including Sinclair's participative concert La Memoria dell'Acqua - invited local people to become involved in the regeneration of old industrial buildings and change their perceptions of the neglected river area. [1]
He continued his association with Michelangelo Pistoletto with an orchestral commission for Il Terzo Paradiso, a large-scale artistic takeover of the island of San Servolo for the Venice Biennale in 2005.
He was commissioned to create the opening event for the Turin Biennale [3] in 2002, bringing together musicians representative of the diverse ethnic groups in Turin with a classical chamber orchestra to play together in Turin's temple of high culture, the Teatro Regio.
In 2004 he won a British Composer Award for The Secret of the Universe. [4]

As an organiser of musical events and projects, Body had a significant impact on the promotion of Asian music in New Zealand, as well as the promotion of New Zealand music within the country and abroad.
