Logan Blackman – Professional Organist, Pianist, Bassoonist, Composer and Conductor in Central New York
Logan Blackman is a multifaceted musician based in Central New York, with roots in Syracuse and Phoenix. Born and raised in Paducah, Kentucky, Logan is an organist, pianist, bassoonist, composer, and conductor who brings a unique multi-lensed perspective to every performance.
His musical journey was sparked by the haunting melody of Davy Jones’ theme from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, igniting a lifelong love for music. After losing his parents at the age of 15, Logan poured his soul into the art form, ultimately earning both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music performance from the University of Kentucky.
At just 17, he founded the Blackman Wind Symphony—a bold and ambitious ensemble that thrived from 2013 to 2017. His conducting credits span a wide array of prestigious ensembles, including the University of Kentucky Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, and Philharmonic Orchestra; the University of Utah Philharmonic and All Campus Orchestras; and the Murray State University Wind Ensemble.
As an organist, Logan has also appeared as a soloist and collaborator with the Salt Lake Symphony, University of Utah orchestras, and University of Kentucky orchestras—bringing symphonic color and emotional depth to both concert works and sacred repertoire.
Logan is a multifaceted leader and musician within the Central New York arts community. He currently serves as the Assistant Operations Director for Oneida Lake Arts and Heritage, where he plays a key role in supporting the region’s cultural and historical legacy.
In addition to his administrative leadership, Logan is a distinguished performer serving as the Organist at St. David’s Episcopal Church in DeWitt, New York. A committed member of the professional music community, he has been active in the American Guild of Organists (Syracuse Chapter) since 2024 and is a member of the Central New York Association of Music Teachers (CNYAMT).
Whether he is managing arts operations or providing music for a wedding, memorial, or sacred service, Logan brings a deeply personal and professional touch to his work. He is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences rooted in beauty, authenticity, and a profound commitment to the arts.
