Instrumentalist

 Pat plays early strings in repertoires that span the medieval to baroque periods and beyond. After receiving her M.A. in Musicology, she taught Medieval Music History at UBC as a sessional. She has performed in ensembles in North America, England and Europe. In B.C., she has enjoyed playing medieval vielle for Ensemble Laude Women’s Choir of Victoria, with Duo Laude, and with ANIMA Medieval Music Duo. On viola da gamba, she plays in the consortium Vancouver Viols and in the duo Viol Pleasures. Pat also composes, arranges and performs for period-theatre in Vancouver community-theatres, and is Music Director for Vancouver’s Vital Spark Theatre and for the dance/theatre group, Historical Performance Ensemble. She is delighted to perform once again with Elizabeth as Duo Laude, and equally delighted that we two will share with you today some of our loved music.
