Treat yourself to hours of enjoyment listening to the piano music listed below. You will be drawn in to the magic of Pat's easy, fluid playing, and impressed by the variety of styles in these cd's.  

"Jazz Images" was released in 2007. All of the tracks are composed by Pat for acoustic piano. They are classically structured, but the content has strong jazz influences in both its rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary.

In progress is a cd of eighteenth century Portuguese keyboard music. Much of it has been recorded, and the rest should be done by the end of the summer. It's unusual, refreshing music.

Several tracks from "Boulder Rags" and "Mountain Images" as well as "Christmas in the Rockies" have been licensed for use on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, Biography Channel, Comedy Central, Australia's Friday Night Live, and others.

Interesting little tidbit: Pat is the sister of Jamey Turner, glass harpist, who lives in northern Virginia and often plays his glasses at events in and around the DC area, as well as with orchestras in the eastern US. Go to his site at www.jameyturner.com if you're interested in seeing more. New development with that is that Jamey asked Pat to write a piece for him to play with orchestras. He also wanted a piano part in it. He had a gig with the Butler County Symphony Orchestra in Pennsylvania in October 2010 and wanted it for that. Their theme for that concert was "water" - so Pat came up with a three movement piece called "The Water Suite". It is in three parts - Spring Creek (named for the creek which runs through our hometown in Montana), Summer Rain, and The Mighty Colorado, for Glass Harp, Piano and Orchestra. Twelve minutes in length, it was performed in Butler PA at their October concert, and there is another performance slated for March 19 with the McLean VA Symphony.

has seven cd's at the present time, all listed on the menu at the left, pictured below. Click on one of the links at the left or one of the cd's to see a more detailed description of her projects and order one (or more) if you like.
