James J. Kellaris (born 1956 – Montebello, California, USA) is an American composer^[1] and scholar^[2]. His compositions include music for classical mandolin and plucked string ensembles. His scholarship examines the effects of music on listeners, including the earworm^[3] phenomenon.

Notable examples of Kellaris’ work for mandolin orchestra include the Kalamazoo Swag (2009), published by Joachim Trekel Musikverlag^[4], Persephonia (2014), a tone poem dedicated to the Austin Mandolin Orchestra and winner of a Vox Nova Fifteen Minutes of Fame^[5] competition, and Chrysopylae Reflections (2012), a tone poem for plucked string orchestra and winner of the 2012 San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra International New Music Composition Competition^[6], the premier of which was at the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, May 27, 2012. Kellaris was named 2013 Composer in Residence by the Classical Mandolin Society of America^[7].
