    Flutist, Paul Nagem, has been principal flute for the Colorado Springs Symphony/Philharmonic since 1994. A native of San Diego, he studied flute there with Damian Bursill-Hall, then principal flute of the San Diego Symphony and now with the Pittsburgh Symphony. He received his Bachelor's Degree from the New England Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Lois Schaefer of the Boston Symphony.  Mr. Nagem is the Instructor of Flute at Colorado College, as well as Principal Flute with the Colorado Ballet, and a member of the Colorado Chamber Players.  He has performed with the San Diego Symphony, the Colorado Symphony and the Singapore Symphony.  Mr. Nagem plays Straubinger flutes.

    Pianist Abe Minzer earned a master’s degree in Piano Performance from the Peabody Conservatory, a doctorate in music at West Virginia University, and has taught piano and chamber music at Goucher College in Baltimore, MD. He plays concerts throughout the US, and has appeared as piano soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major with the Pittsburgh Symphony. Dr. Minzer has performed and introduced compositions of many contemporary composers such as Robert Hall Lewis, Ofer Ben-Amots, Jorge Cardoso and Sylvia Hazlerig at venues, including Classically Alive, Temple Beit Torah, Colorado College, and the PILLAR Adult Education School.

    Currently, Dr. Minzer is an instructor at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS), teaching courses such as Music Theory, Introduction to Music, and 20th Century Music. Dr. Minzer is also on the faculty at Pikes Peak Community College where he teaches private piano, Class Piano, and Fundamentals of Music. At the MTNA / Colorado State Music Teachers Association annual conference during June 2010, Dr. Minzer presented the lecture-performance “Late Chopin, New Beginnings”, in commemoration of the composer’s 200th birthday.

    Abe Minzer is creator/director of “Classically Alive”. Under the sponsorship of the Pikes Peak Arts Council, Classically Alive hosts over 40 musicians and other artists, and features diverse monthly at-home music/arts salons, in addition to programs across Colorado. A venue for painters, poets, discussion, with fine food and great camaraderie, Classically Alive salons host a wide range of musical styles including classical, contemporary, popular styles, jazz, and world music.
