LOVELL — Keyboard virtuoso Dan Moore will perform compositions by Bach, and a good serving of boogie-woogie and jazz, on Thursday, June 28, at the Brick Church for the Performing Arts. 

Moore, a jazz musician, has played at the Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H., almost every night of the week since 1999. 

He is also a storyteller who spins stories and music.  He will mingle Bach and boogie, moving from harpsichord to piano and back again. 

Although he specialized in the organ at the Boston Conservatory, Moore said he loves the unique qualities of different keyboard instruments and styles.

In his youth, he played hymns in Sunday school, but also performed in rock bands, high school musicals and as accompanist to a chorus. He still regularly accompanies the Choral Art Society in Portland.

Perhaps the most unusual item in his musical resume is his 10-year stint as a circus musician, touring New England with the Shrine Circus. “The greatest fun,” he recalls, “was improvising while the good clowns were doing their shtick.”

His concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Brick Church on Christian Hill Road. Tickets will be sold at the door, $10 for adults/$5 for children 12 and younger. For more information, call 925-1500 or visit www.lovellbrickchurch.org.
