Bradley Hunter Welch comes to Coshocton to play on the extraordinary Taylor & Boody Tracker Organ. Playing this organ is an athletic endeavor. There are no mechanical devises between the organist’s fingers & feet, keys & pedals, and the valves that open to let the air flow through the pipes. You don’t need to be an organ aficionado to enjoy the rigors of this performance.

Mr. Welch promises to play a good helping of Bach and Buxtehude and likely a couple of piece by William Albright (Nocturne and Jig for the Feet).

“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…” (Dallas Morning News)
