Paul
Flyger is our wonderfully gifted Organist who serves equally well as
Pianist. His professionalism and passion are evident in his playing of
each key and pedal. Leading us instrumentally since 1993, Paul’s
primary role is to enrich worship with Prelude, Offertory, and Postlude
music, as well as to strengthen and support the Chancel Choir,
Children’s Choirs, and Hand Bell Choirs. Paul is often featured in
Sunday afternoon concerts at our church, sometimes in conjunction with
other local organizations.
Paul’s education
includes B.Mus. and M.Mus. degrees in Organ Performance from Andrews
University in Berrien Springs. As an undergraduate student he studied with
Dr. C. Warren Becker, and as a graduate student his music mentor was
both Dr. C. Warren Becker and Dr. Kenneth Logan. He received
prestigious academic music awards during his studies. A partial list
of his professional experience includes these facts: Paul is known as
the Principal Keyboardist for the Southwest Michigan Symphony
Orchestra, for his performances with the Twin Cities Organ Concert
Series, and for his work with the Monday Musical Club. He teaches
Piano Lessons, Piano Classes, and Music Appreciation at Lake Michigan
College and maintains the Flyger Piano Studio of 30 piano students of
all ages.
Now at home in Benton Harbor, Paul was
born and raised in South Dakota and has spent much time in Arizona,
Utah, and northern California.
Paul has been FCC's Organist since 1993.
