Pat is our magical violinist friend who I met when Bruce and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra hired her to become an artistic partner years ago. I’ve been talking to many of you about expressiveness in violin playing, and she is the embodiment of what this means. She is the most inspiring, gentle, playful, warm, imaginative, and electrifying musician that I know. Here is a clip of one of her concerts in St. Paul. Please search for more of her work; she has a huge commitment to contemporary music, which some of you will be embarking on in your performances at Rivers this weekend. Enjoy!
