Laurel Fleger

Laurel lives in Stratford with her husband Harold, their sons, Simon and Jacob, and her mother Gladys. Laurel became interested in the string bass when the orchestra teacher in the Danbury schools was on the public speaker and said he would be glad to teach any student string instruments: the violin, the viola, the cello, or the string bass. For Laurel it was an immediate decision.

At Danbury High School Laurel played the string bass in the band and the orchestra. She was in the all-state competition in her senior year. A number of years later Laurel went back to playing the string bass. She resumed lessons and played with the UB Civic Orchestra and the SHU Community Orchestra. Laurel's playing has improved thanks to her teacher Milton Biesiegel of Trumbull.

Laurel also plays the piano. Her mother and Jacob and Simon also enjoy playing the piano. Harold enjoys listening and
encourages Laurel to continue playing the string bass.
