Phil & Pat's Web Home Page

Welcome!

Pat has a new personal website! Visit it at www.patriciamorehead.com

This is the web home of composer/oboist/teacher Dr. Patricia Morehead and pianist, conductor, vocal coach, and editor Philip Morehead.

Last summer (2008) Phil conducted Il Barbiere di Siviglia for Lyrique-en-mer on Belle-Ile, France. At Lyric this season, he covers Manon and Cavalleria/Pagliacci and conducted student performances of Pagliacci. Just after the end of the season he conducted the annual Rising Stars concert for the Ryan Opera center.

The spring/summer of 2008 was a flurry of travelling. In April Phil & Pat went to Beijing to attend the conference of the International Alliance of Women in Music, at which Pat performed a concerto by Hillary Tann and Pat's Just Before the Rain for clarinet, pipa and erhu was superbly performed at the China Conservatory of Music. In June they flew to South Africa to visit friends in Cape Town and then to attend the ISPA conference in Durban. For Spring of 2009 they plan trips to Tallinn, Estonia, where Pat will attend a conference on music education (with stops in Paris and St. Petersburg) and to Birmingham, England, where they will perform at the International Double Reed Convention (with a side trip to Ireland).
