A composer, singer, and conductor, Patrick Greene (b. 1985) is a rising artist in the world of contemporary art music.

Mr Greene’s music can best be characterized by a persistent lyricism that transcends aesthetics and schools of thought, uniting his disparate styles with a common voice. Patrick’s music has been performed by the Boston Musica Viva, the Atlanta Chamber Players, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Amarcord, the Cantata 4 Ensemble, The Elmsmen, and many others. As a frequently commissioned choral composer, Patrick’s music has been performed by choirs across the country and abroad.

National Finals in Atlanta, his piece AbstractEXTRACTION garnered the Internet Audience Favorite Award. Mr. Greene’s piece The Long Walk was recently chosen as the official anthem of Trinity College’s Cornerstone Campaign, a $32.9 million-dollar restoration project. Among his current projects are two major commissions: one from the College for a choral/orchestral cycle on the poetry of Hugh Ogden for performance in November 2011, and one from the Boston Musica Viva for a premiere at their annual Family Concert in February 2012.

Mr. Greene earned his MM degree in Composition from The Boston Conservatory in May 2010, where he studied with Andy Vores and Dalit Warshaw. He graduated with a BA in Music from Trinity College in 2007, as a student of Gerald Moshell and Douglas Bruce Johnson.
