Doane received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Juilliard, and recently received his Doctorate degree from The Graduate Center CUNY in New York City. Patrick has been described as a “compelling violinist” by the New York Times. The New Haven Independent writes, “His virtuosic playing and obvious command of his instrument was always in service of grand, thrilling musical gestures.” Patrick began violin studies at age 6 at River Tree Arts in Kennebunk and he is delighted to be returning home to Maine for this concert.
