Brad Hughley serves as Director of Music at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he directs one of the largest chorister programs in the United States. He holds the prestigious Associate of the Royal School of Church Music (ARSCM) award—one of only two Americans and five recipients worldwide in 2024.
Prior to his ministry in Indianapolis, Brad served for 13 years as Organist and Choirmaster at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, where he directed three adult choirs and a children's choir using the Royal School of Church Music curriculum. Under his leadership, he developed a significant concert series and conducted monthly Evensong services and twice-monthly Compline services with choir.
Brad has taught a practicum music course for Anglican Studies at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, training seminarians in the basics of chanting and liturgical music. As a soloist, he has performed recitals across the United States, France, Canada, Germany, and England, and has released three recordings at St. Bartholomew's, including a solo organ CD on the Raven label.
Brad holds degrees from Westminster Choir College, Brandeis University, and Emory University. He is an Associate of the American Guild of Organists (AAGO) and an Associate of the Royal School of Church Music (ARSCM). Outside of music, he enjoys biking to craft breweries, medieval and modern art, good coffee, and anything from post-WWII Britain.
Brad is married to Amy Hughley, a fantastic musician in her own right, and they have a daughter, Katharine.
