Dr. Bradford Morin Dumont is a passionate arts advocate working to create and support artistic projects that contribute to cultural improvement and community-based arts education. As a conductor, he believes in the power of choral singing to build empathetic communities — providing space for those who may otherwise not be heard. Brad is committed to a collaborative and process-oriented approach to music-making which allows for artists to explore broad themes within topics of equity and justice.

He serves as Assistant Professor and Director of Choral Activities at Bridgewater State University, Artistic Projects Manager for Emmanuel Music in Boston, and Membership Coordinator for the Massachusetts American Choral Director’s Association. Additionally, Brad is an artistic leader for the Boston-based choir VOICES 21C, where he helps develop creative staging and narrative driven programs and participated in work in Palestine, Mexico, France, Sri Lanka, Canada, and across the United States. 

From 2019-2024 Brad led ensembles in Worcester, MA as Director of Choral Activities at Assumption University and Artistic Director of Salisbury Singers. He has previously served in artistic leadership as a conductor at organizations like Cambridge Common Voices of Harvard University, Boston University Race, Prison, Justice Arts Initiative, First Parish Church of Stow & Acton, Connecticut Children's Chorus, South Shore Children's Chorus, Plymouth State University, and as an arts administrator with Greater Boston Choral Consortium, Boston Lyric Opera, New Hampshire Master Chorale, and New Hampshire Music Festival. In Spring 2021, Brad and Nicky Manlove co-produced 'Engender' for The Choral Commons, a podcast focusing on gender diversity in choral music.

Brad holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in choral conducting at the University of Hartford's Hartt School, completing studies with Dr. Anthony Trecek-King. Brad received a Master of Music in Choral Conducting at Boston University studying with Dr. Miguel Felipe and Bramwell Tovey where he served on the Arts Leadership Council and held teaching assistantships in choral ensembles, conducting, and arts incubation.
