Brief description: David Paul Werner is organist, composer and teacher serving Church of All Nations, Hong Kong, and some of Hong Kong's most eminent schools. In the centuries-long tradition of liturgical church musicians, Werner has been composing choral and organ music since a teenager. His music has gained wider ecumenical recognition through competitions, conferences and commissions. Werner studied organ performance and church music history, principally with Robert Reuter of Roosevelt University. Further organ studies are with George M. Williams and Ruth Matthews. He studied piano, composition and theory with Lane Emery, Ralph Dodds and Joseph Urbinato. Werner has made Hong Kong his home since the late 1980s.
