Kenneth A. Farnum, Jr. began his first church job during his college years. 

     Having been taught piano by both his mother and grandmother, 

     he was introduced to the organ by his mom, Judith F. Farnum, in 1976, 

     taking her position at Our Savior’s (R.C.) in the Bronx. 

     Ken also played piano for dozens of popular local groups and singers 

     during his time at Fordham Preparatory and Fordham University 

     for various events, both secular and sacred. 

     Almost a dozen years later he fortuitously met his then wife-to-be, 

     Elizabeth Henreckson, while music directing a Cole Porter revue. 

     Mr. Farnum spends most of his professional time tuning 

     and repairing pianos for hundreds of customers and prestigious institutions. 

     He also plays for over a dozen local churches and schools. 

     Ken is also founder, arranger and Music Director for The GiZMO SynFauxNY, 

     an electro-classical synth-keyboard trio based at St. Mary, Star Of The Sea, 

     in City Island, NY, where he is organist and music director. 

     He taught as the Choral Music teacher St. Catharines Academy for eight years

     and is in his eight year at his high school alma mater starting 

     a choral class for the men of the Fordham Preparatory. 

     He also has been connected with Aquinas, St. Catharines Academy;

     forming Triple Choir (in 2016) upgrade to MultiQuire in 2021. 

     and Fordham University since the mid-1970’s and Archbishop Molloy H.S. since the mid 1990’s.
