Bradley is a world-class organist and it’s an honor to have him play our church’s pipe organ.Hailed as “A world-class virtuoso” and “an expert at defining darks, lights, shadows and colors,” Bradley Hunter Welch is increasingly in demand as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and collaborative artist. A native of Knoxville, TN, Bradley holds the Doctor of Musical Arts, Master of Musical Arts, Master of Music degrees, and the Artist Diploma from Yale University where he studied with Thomas Murray and Martin Jean. He also holds the Bachelor of Music degree magna cum laude from Baylor University where he studied with Joyce Jones.
“To invoke an old Southern expression, Bradley Hunter Welch plays the organ like nobody’s business.Between the virtuosity of the playing and the easy going spoken commentary, he also proved that ‘entertainer’and ‘organist’ needn’t be mutually exclusive. It would be hard to play Widor any better than this.... splendidly idiomatic and communicative.”
(Dallas Morning News)
“Bradley’s recital was exceptionally fine, and many commented on his uniquely thoughtful and artistic approach to this particular instrument and to his choice of repertoire – all outstanding in every way.”
(Lorenz Maycher, director, East Texas Pipe Organ Festival, Kilgore, TX, 2015)
Bradley is married to Kara Kirkendoll Welch, a flutist in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Adjunct Professor of Flute at Southern Methodist University. They have a son--Ethan Hunter Welch--and a daughter--Avery Kristine Welch.
