About

Patrick Fata (Headshot-B&W-MEDIUM)

Patrick Fata has performed with his wife Amy for over twenty years, releasing five albums, concertizing throughout the US and Europe and leading worship in the local church, currently Harbour Shores Church in Cicero, IN.

He also coaches a string ensemble for Highlands Latin School in Indianapolis, accompanies the Indianapolis Children’s Choir’s Master Chorale, and is Artist-in- Residence for the Hancock County Children’s Choir.

His studies took him from the Conservatoire National de Région de Rueil-Malmaison in Paris to Huntington University and Butler University in Indiana, where he specialized in piano performance.

He has published three books with Memoria Press, combining history and theory into a curriculum designed to develop children’s appreciation of classical music. He also composes and arranges works for schools, concert musicians, media, and the church.
