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. A native of Knoxville, TN, Bradley holds the Doctor of Musical Arts, Master of Musical Arts, and Master of Music degrees, as well as the coveted Artist Diploma from Yale University. He also holds the Bachelor of Music degree magna cum laude from Baylor University. Dr. Welch is the 2003 First Prize winner of the Dallas International Organ Competition and, in addition to concertizing, serves as Resident Organist at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas and as Artist-in-Residence at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, Dallas.
