Patrick Graham is an accomplished percussionist, improviser, composer and instructor from Montreal, Canada. Patrick’s life-long fascination with percussion and passion for sonic textures has led him on a globe-traversing journey, studying contemporary Western percussion, the frame drum traditions of the Mediterranean and Middle-East, South Indian rhythm and Japanese taiko. He re-imagines this world of influences, bridging far-flung rhythms and coaxing a vast palette of colours from an array of instruments. Patrick has co-created percussion collectives, chamber, folk and jazz ensembles, dance, theatre and multi-disciplinary pieces, and he has been featured on dozens of albums and soundtracks. His first solo album, Rheō, was hailed in 2009 as one of the top albums of the year by the CBC Radio’s 'The Signal'. In 2020, he released Lumina, an album of solo improvisations and Refractions, an EP of electro-acoustic music. Patrick Graham performs extensively with the acclaimed ensemble Constantinople, touring worldwide on 5 continents.
