Brandon Michael Smith
Conductor, Pianist, Organist, and Vocal Coach

Upcoming 

All public performances have unfortunately been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic.

I have therefore turned my focus to continuing education, attending many webinars through the Royal School of Church Music, the American Guild of Organists, Choral Conductors Colloquium, and Conductors Collective. 

It has been wonderful to take advantage of this time to further develop my sacred organ repertoire, including many chorale preludes by both J. S. Bach, as well as many 20th/21st century composers.

​I have also been very busy studying choral works from both Anglican and Lutheran traditions, and continuing my study of the history of Protestant church music.
