PATRICK ROBERTS

Patrick Roberts has been entertaining audiences for over 30 years. Picking up the Violin at the tender age of 5 he has been classified as a true Violin genius and has transformed some of the much loved classics into contemporary masterpieces.  His shows are dynamic & energetic bringing large scale production effects and full bodied sounds which will mesmerise audiences far and wide, bringing people to their feet as they simply cannot get enough of the show!

In 2017 Patrick released globally through Sony Music one of the most stunning Classical/ Crossover albums in his career titled Pink.  This album features beautiful renditions of loved classical titles such as Cinema Paradiso, Intermezzo, & the very beautiful Emmanuel.   Pink debuted at No.1 on the Aria Charts and is a very special album to Patrick as it’s a charity album for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Patrick’s Mother was a breast cancer sufferer and after a lot of treatment she was one of the lucky survivors.  Patrick has always wanted to do something to give back to this foundation and donated the proceeds of this brand new album to the NBCF to further life changing breast cancer research.  Patrick is the current International Ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

In 2015 Patrick was honoured to be invited to perform a very special duet with award winning Australian soprano Marina Prior live in front of a 50,000 audience and 3.2 million TV audience at the stunning Sidney Myer Music Bowl. This was a breathtaking concert featuring some stunning renditions of many well known classical/ crossover pieces.

Patrick has performed on every major TV station in Australia and is widely known as an Australian TV phenomenon.  He is most remembered by his performances each year live on the Good Friday Appeal on Network 7 in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital, Vision Australia’s Carols By Candlelight in support of the blind and vision impaired and the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

In 2018 Patrick collaborated with Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock from Air Supply on their latest album titled The Lost in Love Experience. This was a very exciting collaboration for Patrick as he performed solo alongside Joshua Bell, Tommy Emmanuel & the Prague Symphony Orchestra.

In 2019 Patrick released his 6^th studio album through Universal Music titled All Out of Love.  This new album features Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock from Air Supply as guest artists & The Prague Symphony Orchestra on the album.  The album debuted at No.1 on the classical/ crossover charts.

Patrick launched the new album at the iconic Sydney Opera House alongside Air Supply & the Metropolitan Orchestra in front of a capacity 5,500 audience, this was straight after his live performance with them at the Melbourne Plenary in April 2019.   He is very honoured to have these legendary artists on his album ‘All Out of Love’ and also have performed alongside them at the Sydney Opera House in 2019.

In May 2019 Patrick Roberts made is debut performance in Las Vegas at the stunning Orleans Showroom as special guest during Air Supply’s USA tour.   The USA audiences truly embraced Patrick’s very emotional and mesmerising performance style and he will be returning again next year for a full USA tour.

This year marks a very exciting year for Patrick as he was honoured to release his 7^th studio album with Sony Music Australia called ‘Imagine’.  This album features many of the Beatles classic songs reimagined on the Violin. Songs such as Hey Jude, Let it Be and While My Guitar Gently Weeps just to name a few.   Included on the album is a very special version of ‘Saltwater’ featuring Julian Lennon & Tommy Emmanuel.  This track was re recorded by Julian, Tommy and Patrick and produced by Nuno Bettencourt especially for this album to renew awareness & inspire action surrounding environmental issues, in the spirit of the original recording.

‘Imagine’ was mastered at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London by the amazing Andy Walter who mastered the original Beatles Anthology Edition giving the last sprinkles of magic to an already impressive album.

20% of the proceeds of all album sales will be going to the Sony Foundation to help improve young Australians who are effected by severe illness, disability and homelessness.  A donation to the White Feather Foundation (Julian Lennon’s Foundation) will also be made from sales of this album to reflect Julian’s incredible work for the conservation of life.
