| | J. Patrick Rafferty |
 | | Patrick Rafferty has been hailed for his "exciting performances", his "subtle and imaginative ideas about the music", and "a velvety, sweetly sonorous tone [that] captured the intellect and calmed the soul." (Milwaukee Sentinel) Rafferty's solo credits include concerto performances with the symphony orchestras of Milwaukee, Dallas, Cincinnati, and St. Louis. |
 | | Patrick Rafferty served as Concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra from 1986 to 1991. |
 | | Rafferty immediately impressed with a very warm, at times lush, tone quality, rich and beautifully controlled, and a very handsome technique...Clean, rich in tone, beautifully phrased and projected...the Debussy was given a very sensual tone, and the three last pieces by Dvorak and Sarasate in the knuckle- buster category were played with impeccable taste." |
