On Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 12:10 p.m., the free admission Glendale Noon Concerts program will be performed in the sanctuary of Glendale City Church, 610 E. California Ave. in Glendale. 

Featured are works by James Domine performed by violist Patrick Marsh,

flutist Katherine Marsh and pianist Brendan White. The program includes the Flute Concerto: “Pastorale” and Viola Concerto: “Introduzione,” “Minuetto” and “Finale.”

Music director and conductor James Domine founded the San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra (SFVSO) in 1979. The group was originally conceived as the Van Nuys Civic Orchestra. That same year Domine entered the University of Southern California on a full scholarship to earn a master’s degree in music composition and theory. The community-based group eventually evolved into the SFVSO.
Domine’s passion for symphonic music began as a child when his third grade class attended a performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the Shrine Auditorium. That life-changing experience was to be forever imprinted upon his consciousness. It also speaks to the importance of exposing children to the arts at a young age.

Maestro Domine continues to compose and perform music in a wide range of styles and genres. He performs regularly with several rock and blues bands, a jazz ensemble and a classical quartet known as the Symphomaniax. In addition, he teaches music at several colleges and universities and is an active author and director of theatrical productions. More details on this virtuoso can be found on his website jamesdomine.com.

Patrick Marsh received his bachelor’s degree in viola performance from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins.

As a violist, Marsh was one of the founding members of Clemens Quartet, a string quartet performing and competing throughout the United States. As a violinist, Marsh is a former concertmaster of The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. His performance opportunities have taken him across the United States, Europe, and St. Petersburg, Russia.

Though classical music is the foundation of his technique, he can be found branching out into the jazz and rock genres. Marsh plays a blue Fourness Fuse 5-string electric violin and runs it through a Line6 Helix for effects, and two Gallien Krueger bass amps in stereo.

Marsh can also be heard as a featured soloist in such feature films as “Kids vs. Monsters” and “Pali Road” as well as such video games as Relics of Gods and Disney’s Cartooniverse. https://www.patrickmarshmusic.com/
