My name is Patrick O’Keefe. I’m a long time resident of Washington state and have lived in Seattle since 1964. In 2010 I retired from a decidedly non-musical career (computer programmer/analyst) providing time to pursue my life-long interest in classical music. Since 2011 I have been studying music theory and composition with instructor, composer, and bass player Brian Cobb, D.M.A.
My compositional style tends to be modal with somewhat nontraditional harmonies. Most compositions are for small chamber ensembles but I occasionally writes for orchestra.
In addition to classical music, he also has a deep interest in Balkan folk music and recreational Balkan folkdance.
