ABBOTT CHURCH - Key Persons

Julius Fischer, Jr. is a Baltimore native, being born in Highlandtown and growing up in nearby Dundalk. As a young teenager, his music interests set him on a divergent path as he both studied bassoon at the Peabody Conservatory Prep and played keyboard in a pop variety band that performed a Kiss tribute show. He earned his B.S. degree in Music Education with a piano major from Towson University and for many years taught piano at the local community college and worked as a freelance musician in the Baltimore/Washington area where he did everything from musical theater to Klezmer. He particularly enjoys encouraging children in their musical endeavors through lessons offered through the Abbott Center for Arts. His wife Angela is the Dean of students at a Classical Christian School, and they have two teenaged daughters whose current interests include volleyball, music, and art.
