SUMMARY:Organ Recital: Paul Fey
DESCRIPTION:Paul Fey\, Organist \n\n\n\nSunday\, October 11\, 20267:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nWebster Groves Presbyterian Church45 West Lockwood AveWebster Groves\, Mo. 63119 \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public \n\n\n\nWebster Groves Presbyterian Church is part of his U.S. Concert Tour \n\n\n\nPaul Fey is a German concert organist and composer who has rapidly emerged as one of the most distinctive voices of a new generation of church and concert musicians.  \n\n\n\nHe studied organ with A. F. Kipping and later with Stefan Kießling\, former Assistant Organist of the Thomaskirche Leipzig\, one of Europe’s most renowned centers of sacred music. Alongside his musical training\, Paul completed a three-year professional apprenticeship at Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR)\, Germany’s public broadcasting network\, before enrolling in church music studies at the University of Music in Halle (Saale). Since then\, he has worked full-time as a concert organist\, composer\, and recording artist. \n\n\n\nPaul Fey has held the position of repetiteur for the Kurrende groups at St. Thomas Church (Thomaskirche) in Leipzig\, working closely with the historic children’s and church choirs of the Thomaskirche tradition. This role deepened his grounding in liturgical repertoire\, choral accompaniment\, and the great German sacred music heritage. \n\n\n\nAs a performer\, Paul Fey has appeared at some of the world’s most significant organs. He has played the legendary Boardwalk Hall Organ in Atlantic City – the largest pipe organ ever built – and has performed at St. Peter’s – the Vatican – during a Papal Mass for Pope Leo in Rome. His concert activity has taken him to churches\, cathedrals\, and concert halls across Germany\, Italy\, the Netherlands\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States\, where he is increasingly in demand as a recitalist. \n\n\n\nParallel to his concert career\, Paul Fey has become one of the most widely followed organists of his generation through his online presence. His YouTube channel reaches over three million viewers every month and attracts a global audience from Europe\, North America\, and beyond. Through professionally produced performances\, improvisations\, and original compositions\, he has introduced countless listeners — many of them young — to the sound and expressive power of the pipe organ. \n\n\n\nAs a composer\, Fey has published numerous collections of organ music for Advent\, Christmas\, Easter\, Lent\, weddings\, funerals\, and general church use. His works are performed worldwide and are known for their strong melodic character\, clear harmonic language\, and immediate practicality for working church musicians. He is particularly admired for writing music that is both artistically expressive and directly usable in real liturgical and concert settings. \n\n\n\nPaul Fey’s artistic identity stands at the intersection of tradition and modernity. Deeply rooted in the great European organ heritage\, he combines this with a contemporary sense of communication\, digital media\, and audience connection. Whether in a cathedral\, a concert hall\, or a broadcast to millions online\, his playing is marked by emotion\, lyricism\, and a powerful sense of musical narrative — bringing the organ to a new global audience in the 21st century.
