BRENHAM COUPLE CELEBRATES 40 YEARS OF MUSIC

  

When Martha Haydon met her future husband in 1963, she had no idea their relationship would lend itself to a lifetime of playing music together.

Now, after 48 years of marriage, longtime Brenham residents Martha and Robert Haydon will celebrate 40 years of playing the organ and piano together with a concert for the community.

The couple will hold a double grand piano concert to commemorate the 40 years of music at 6 p.m. on September 25th at First Baptist Church in Brenham.

Martha says that music has always played a significant role in the couple’s marriage. She says that their mutual passion for music is a testament to God’s intricate and beautiful plan for both of their lives.

Martha has accompanied and performed with a variety of musical groups including church choirs in Galveston, the Galveston College Choir, the Galveston Opera Workshop, Unity Theatre of Brenham, and the Brenham High School drama department musicals. She has served as pianist at Brenham's First Baptist Church for thirty years and has served as interim music director.

Her favorite duet partner is her husband, Robert. He stays busy practicing family medicine at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in Brenham and offers organ and piano lessons to the community.

Martha says they love being part of a community like Brenham, which is so supportive of both of their musical pursuits.

A reception will follow the concert at First Baptist in Brenham. For more information, call 979-836-2807.
