Ken Farnum, Jr. began his first church job during his college years. Taught the piano by both mother and grandmother, he was introduced to the organ by his mom, Judith Farnum, in 1976, taking her position at Our Savior's (R.C.) in the Bronx. Ken played piano 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, on City Island, NY, where he is organist and music director. For ten years (1995 - 2005), Ken also founded and ran the NYC tri-state area foosball (table-soccer) tournament association NY Metro Foosball.i8.com.
Like her husband Ken, Ms. Elizabeth Farnum acquired her first church position in college, where she studied musical theatre at The Hartt School, graduating with honors. It was during this time, while working for many diverse religious faiths (her first church positon required her walking three miles back and forth through all types of weather!), that she developed a groundwork for a deeper understanding and interpetation of religous song texts. Upon graduation from school, she embarked on a career in musical theatre, which eventually took her to New York City in November of 1986 (coincidentally on her future husband, Ken's, birthday!). While performing as a musical theatre artist, including a six-month engagement aboard the SS Rotterdam and a run on Broadway in Riverdance - the Show, Ms. Farnum also became one of the most sought-after contemporary music specialists in New York; her performances of both modern and early music have taken her throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. She has collaborated with many of today's prominent composers, and three of her recordings have been nominated for Grammys. During her busy concert career, she has continued her relationship with the church, singing with the best and most famous of choral groups in New York, including the choirs of St. Bartholomew's, St Ignatius Loyola, Church Of The Ascension, Cathedral Of St. John The Divine and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Ms. Farnum serves as leader of song in many churches throughout the New York tri-state area, often accompanied by her husband, Ken.

Fr. J. Leonard, Elizabeth and Ken Farnum
at the Fordham University 2003 Christmas Concert
in The Leonard Theatre (Fordham Prep Auditorium)
Elizabeth Farnum - Praire Home Companion
Town Hall, NYC 2006 Christmas Show
My mother, Judith Farnum has been the organist and choir director for Church of the Incarnation since 1976.
She was born in Brooklyn, NY., but at a very early age her parents returned with her to their home
in Barbados. It is here where she spent her early years studying piano at the Gormandy School of Music
and organ under the direction of Gerald Hudson, master organist at St. Michael’s Cathedral.
At the school where she attended, St. Patrick’s, Mrs. Farnum choreographed numerous dance recitals
and regularly presented musical evenings.
She married Ken Farnum, renowned Olympic cyclist champion and they eventually moved to New York City
were she attended New York School of Music. She was organist and choir director of St. Catherine’s,
Our Saviour’s and Christ the King Christ churches.
The Farnum's son, daughter, Judith Angela is an organist/musical director at Our Lady of Mercy
and Christ The King and is a designer and Group Facilitator for after-school programs.
Their son, Kenneth, is a piano tuner and organist/musical director at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea in City Island, NY. He is also married to Elizabeth Henreckson Farnum,
a renowned contemporary music soprano. Mrs. Farnum still teaches piano with students who have held recitals in many major venues in New York City.
My sister, Judith A. Farnum, has been organist at Our Lady of Mercy and at Christ The King churches for the better part of the last two decades. She has worked in the fashion industry elbow to elbow with such greats as Donna Karan and Tommy Hilfiger.
She owned and operated her own custom design company for many years, but now her passion has taken her to teaching excercise and easy dance movements to the masses with exciting varieties of musical styles from around the world through DanceEasy (tm)
My mother, Judith Farnum,
first woman to be licensed to ride a motorcycle in Barbados!
The Barbados Olympic story began in 1952 when my father, Ken Farnum (Sr.), a Barbadian who at the time was the region's best cyclist, competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland.
