About

Giving his Carnegie Hall debut at age 17, Patrick Kreeger has established himself as one of the leading musicians of his generation. Praised by The Philadelphia Inquirer for his “elegantly detailed phrasing,” as well as having “a lot to offer beyond the organ console,” he maintains a versatile career as a pianist, organist, and choral conductor.

Patrick has performed in many distinguished venues around the world, including: Benaroya Hall (Seattle, WA), Meymandi Symphony Hall (Raleigh, NC), Verizon Hall (Philadelphia, PA), Bulgaria Hall (Sofia, Bulgaria), Cook Hall (St. John’s, Newfoundland), Peterborough Cathedral (U. K.), Musée d’Augustins (Toulouse, France), Kunsten Museum (Aalborg, Denmark), as well as numerous other venues in the U. S., U. K., France, Italy, Israel, and Bulgaria. He gave his symphonic debut in April 2008, performing Sergei Rachmaninoff’s first piano concerto with the North Carolina Symphony and has also been guest soloist with the Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra, Virginia Beach Symphony, Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra, Barton College/Wilson Symphony Orchestra, and the SUNY-Purchase Conservatory Orchestra.

A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Kreeger has pursued higher education at three institutions. At age 18, he was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to attend The Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied organ and piano with Alan Morrison and Susan Starr, respectively. He then received the Robert Baker scholarship to attend Yale University, where he earned his master’s degree and sacred music certificate under Martin Jean. Patrick subsequently was a C. V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at The Juilliard School, where he studied with Paul Jacobs and earned the prestigious Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) degree. Patrick has served as the Associate Organist at New York City’s historic Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church since 2015. Additionally, he is on the College and Extension faculties at The Juilliard School.

In August, 2012, under Patrick’s guidance, I returned to piano study after a hiatus of 10
years. With infinite patience and great sense of humor, Patrick helped me rebuild my
technique, expand my repertoire and regain my confidence as a pianist. As an educator
myself, I can attest to the fact that Patrick has an excellent understanding of ... Show more

As a theory teacher, Patrick Kreeger possesses the exact teaching style the subject
requires. Patience, availability for questions and dedication to my desire to learn best
define my experience with Patrick. It was such dedication that also made him call me out
when he didn’t think I was doing my best or was making careless mistakes. P... Show more

I had a piano lesson with Dr. Kreeger and we worked together brushing up on piano
technique I had lost over the years. Dr. Kreeger was very fast at responding to my lesson
request and we were able to set a date and time quickly and efficiently. Our lesson was via
Zoom and he watched me play a couple of different pieces I was learning on ... Show more

I have been an organ student of Patrick’s since 2015, recommended by Paul Jacobs. His
expectations are very high I have learned so much from him. He is a very kind teacher but
demands a lot from each student. I highly recommend Patrick to teach anyone who takes
music seriously. A special thank you to him for challenging me to become a b... Show more

I studied music theory with Patrick for only under a year, but within this short period of
time I learned so much from him. He is always very thorough, patient and kind, and I also
appreciated his tough demand for work to be completed with perfection. Not only did I
learn my music theory skills from him, but also great working discipline. I hig... Show more

Frequently asked questions

I like to get to know the student—their personality and their goals—before formally accepting them into my studio. I enjoy working with my students and want the chemistry between us to be good and healthy. By establishing a good relationship and setting clear goals with a timeline, many of my students are able to attain goals that were otherwise unable to be accomplished with previous teachers.
