• "Professor Patterson has created a program that fits our new all-virtual environment perfectly. "

    Aaron Lipsky, Summer Sessions 2020 Participant

  • "Brilliant soloing"

    Burlington Hawk Eye

  • "The interplay between flautist David Whiteside and clarinetist Rob Patterson was so jovial and so transparent, following Gardner’s hocketting logic was a delight indeed."

    The Baltimore Sun

  • "The performance of “Ode (in memory of Che Guevara)’’ by the 20th-century Russian composer Edison Denisov was shaped and driven by the clarinet. Rob Patterson played the part with command, finding the extremes the work sought to articulate."

    The Boston Globe

  • "Rich, luscious tone quality"

    The Clarinet

  • "The Sessions is a gem of an online series. Rob Patterson and the ‘dream team’ of performers, pedagogues, and panelists he assembled left no stone unturned this summer. I especially enjoyed getting to play for a wide variety of musicians (not just clarinetists), and my lessons with Rob himself were particularly illuminating."

    Celeste Markey, Summer Sessions 2020 Participant

  • “Rob did an excellent job organizing and communicating all the aspects of the program."
