​

While waiting for his voice to mature, Patrick earned his Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Houston, founded and led Houston Baroque to strong international reviews in recordings of Buxtehude, Handel, and Rheinberger, worked as a choirmaster in the Anglican tradition and The Norwegian Church, taught at the Norwegian Academy of Music, and performed the complete organ works of Bach, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Schumann.

 

Patrick also completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Houston where he studied Jungian and Freudian principles that shaped generations of opera and which inspire him to create powerful connections with audiences through the comforting, healing, and sustaining power of music.
