About
Patrick Marsh received his bachelors degree in viola performance from the University of Michigan and his masters degree from The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins.
As a violist, Patrick was one of the founding members of
"Clemens Quartet," a string quartet performing and competing throughout the United States.
As a violinist, Patrick is a former concertmaster of The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. His performance opportunities have taken him across the United States, Europe, and St. Petersburg Russia.
Though classical music is the foundation of his technique, you will find him branching out into the Jazz and Rock generes. Patrick plays a blue Fourness Fuse 5string electric violin and runs it through a Line6 Helix for effects, and 2 Gallien Krueger bass amps in stereo.
Patrick can also be heard as a featured soloist in such feature films as "Kids vs. Monsters" and "Pali Road" as well as such video games as "Rellics of Gods" and Disney's "Cartooniverse."
