David Boulware-Kelley

Minister of Music

David Boulware-Kelley has worked as Minister of Music at Church of the Holy Comforter since May 2011. David has broad classical training, including a Doctorate in Organ Performance from Peabody Conservatory, as well as degrees in Music Theory, Composition, and Liturgical Music.


His work in the church utilizes all of these skills, from composing pieces for the choir and congregation to sing, to creating colorful improvisations that enhance weekly worship. David uses his experience with vocal pedagogy and the Royal School of Church Music curriculum to train Holy Comforter’s volunteer choir members of all ages.


Outside Holy Comforter, he has served in leadership roles in the American Guild of Organists, is active in the Association of Anglican Musicians, and has published articles and compositions. When not engaged in musical activities, David enjoys designing and building bikes that he can ride to and from the church.
