His busy schedule includes teaching, a church Music Directorship, and his position for over twenty years accompanying the Master Singers of Lexington.
Bradford Conner has been Music Director at First Parish since 2005. He is a conductor, pianist, singer, and arranger and has conducted many concerts and ensembles in the greater Boston area of classical and popular music.
First Parish’s especially fine, fully restored 19th century Hook & Hastings organ will be on full display in the concert. The instrument is a tracker action organ: pushing down a key moves a lever that pulls open a valve so the air can rush through a particular pipe.
Suggested donation at the door: $20 adults, $15 seniors/students. Proceeds to benefit First Parish.
