Paul Berensmeier will be performing the Native American flute at church service on August 31st, 2014. He will be playing two songs: “My Lord, What a Morning!” and “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.”

Here is his bio:

In the summer of 2007, Paul successfully auditioned for a master class with internationally renowned flautist R. Carlos Nakai at a week long Native American flute workshop in Montana. The experience inspired him to start the first Flute Circle in Marin County beginning in October 2007. It is open to all interested in learning to play the Native American flute. In addition, Paul recently started a Native American flute class for Middle School students at Lagunitas School which is filled to capacity and has a waiting list. In the summer of 2008, Paul returned to Nakai’s workshop and at Nakai’s request taught a class on teaching Native American flute to Middle School students.  Paul performs on his classical flute with the Magic Flutes Flute Orchestra in San Mateo, in addition to regularly performing on Native American Flute for weddings, memorials, and various ceremonies in addition to playing out in nature.
