At RAO, Patrick’s roles included the title role in Gianni Schicchi, Musiklehrer in the Prologue to Strauss‘ Ariade auf Naxos, Aeneas in Dido and Aeneas, Guglielmo in Così fan tutte, and Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In the summer of 2021, Patrick sang Don Parmenione in Rossini’s L’occasione fa il ladro for British Youth Opera at Opera Holland Park.

Before London, Patrick spent four years at the University of Oxford, completing a Bachelors degree in Music and a Masters in Composition, his second study, which he passed with distinction. For examples of his work, please see the Composition page. He began a doctorate in the discipline at New College, Oxford, before being advised by industry professionals that the time was right to focus on his singing. He remains active as a composer in his spare time and has hopes of resuming his DPhil at some point in the future.

Whilst at Oxford, he was a choral scholar, and later Peter Phillips Scholar, in the Choir of Merton College. He appeared with them as a soloist numerous times in concert, on disc, and on Radio 3, including for the first Anglican Evensong at St. Peter’s, Vatican City. His solo on their 2018 release was commended by Gramophone and BBC Music magazines. He was also a member of the Schola Cantorum of Oxford.

​He maintains a busy choral and oratorio schedule alongside operatic singing, with recent highlights including the bass solos in the opening gala of the Vache Baroque Festival alongside Nick Pritchard and Helen Charlston, bass solos in Bach’s B Minor Mass at St. John’s Smith Square alongside Mary Bevan, Christus (St. John Passion) for Shrewsbury Abbey and Zebul (Jeptha) at Oxford University Church, alongside James Gilchrist in the title role. In Oxford he has sung as a lay clerk for the Oxford Oratory, Christ Church Cathedral, and Pusey House, and performed for many of the college choirs as well as the Oxford Bach Soloists, Vespri Segreti, and Fount and Origin.

​In London he has performed with the BBC Singers and the London Symphony Chorus, and deputises for the Brompton Oratory, the Carmelite Priory, Kensington, St James’s Spanish Place, St. Luke’s Chelsea, and St. John’s Hyde Park.
