COME ONE, COME ALL TO HONOR THE LEGACY OF DR. FREDERICK SWANN!
To invoke an old Southern expression, Bradley Hunter Welch plays the organ like nobody’s business. With the virtuosity of the playing and the easy-going spoken commentary, he quickly proves that entertainer and organist are not mutually exclusive. Hailed as “A world-class virtuoso” (The American Organist) and “an expert at defining darks, lights, shadows and colors,” (Birmingham News, Alabama) Dr. Welch is increasingly in demand as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and collaborative artist. He is the 2003 First Prize winner of the Dallas International Organ Competition. In addition to concertizing, serves as Resident Organist and holder of the Lay Family Chair of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and is Artist-in-Residence at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, Dallas.
Bradley Hunter Welch is represented in North America exclusively by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists, LLC.

Hearing the majestic sound of hundreds of voices singing the enduring music of faith at a Mark Thallander Foundation Festival is a one-of-a-kind experience.
