Where
in America....?
~ Brad Nelson's choral music has been performed in concert halls, schools, churches, and by community choirs throughout the United States ~ In addition to many International Performances, Brad's music has been heard throughout America. Most recently, "How Can I Keep From Singing? was commissioned by the Choral Consortium of San Diego and received its world premiere by 1000 singers, accompanied by the Spreckels Organ (the world's largest outdoor instrument!) during the Centennial of famous Balboa Park in San Diego. This composition was subsequently featured at an "All-Conference Sing" of all attendees at the 2016 Western Division Convention of the American Choral Director's Association in Pasadena. Also, Brad's music has been widely performed by many choirs throughout the state of California.
