Paul Jacobs will perform on the 1997 Schoenstein Lied Chancel Organ at First-Plymouth Congregational Church (UCC) for the Region VI Convention of the American Guild of Organists in Lincoln, Nebraska in June, 2007.

	Paul Jacobs has re-invigorated the American organ scene with his once-in-a-generation gifts as a performer. His fellow organists have been quick to applaud his phenomenal technique and memory, his charismatic stage presence, his huge repertoire spanning five centuries, and the sense of showmanship he brings to an instrument more usually associated with staid and reserved performances. Paul Jacobs is also creating new interest for the organ in the wider musical world, which has recognized him as a musician of rare stature. He is in great demand in the United States and has growing recognition as a performer of unusual merit in Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.
"A New Prince for the King of Instruments" (Minnesota Public Radio) "Hailed as one of the modern age's foremost concert organists." (Star Bulletin, Honolulu) "One of the most supremely gifted young organists of his generation." (Chicago Tribune) "Charismatic showmanship and unflagging exuberance." (The Wall Street Journal) "An exceptional musical experience....supple technique and vivid interpretive imagination." (The New York Times) "We crowded into the chapel to hear Paul Jacobs dazzle us with memorized performances....Mr. Jacobs was the very embodiment of the music. The full house was ringing with cheers even before the final chord was released." (The American Organist, 2005 convention review)
