Sean Burns is organist at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington. Sean is a Philadelphia-area native who relocated to Washington, DC in 2021. He is a recent graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center (J.D.), and currently serves as a Postgraduate Fellow at the Health Justice Alliance Law Clinic at Georgetown Law.
Sean completed formal organ study at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ in 2016, where he studied with Alan Morrison and earned a Master of Music in Organ Performance. Before moving to
DC, he served as the principal organist first at Corpus Christi Church and later at Abington Presbyterian Church, both in suburban Philadelphia.
Beyond the walls of the church, Sean has used his extensive love and knowledge of opera to serve as an accompanist for young singers who are either pursuing upper-level studies or who are at the forefront of a professional career. At the academic level, Sean has worked with voice students at Westminster as well as Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. Professionally, he worked at Sarasota
Opera House in Florida along with the summer programs CoOPERAtive in Princeton, NJ and Canto in Louisville, Kentucky.
We sincerely thank the staff of First Baptist, Rev. Julie Pennington-Russell, Rev. Eric Mathis, and all that helped to make this event possible!
