British-Mexican violinist Patrick Wood Uribe studied as a postgraduate at the Royal Academy of Music in London, and holds a BA and MA with honors in Modern Languages from Oxford University. He began to play the violin in Mexico City as a pupil of Icilio Bredo, later studying at the Royal Academy and with Erick Friedman and Eugene Drucker in the United States. As a soloist and chamber musician, he has performed widely throughout the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain.
His solo debut recording, Thomas Baltzar: The Complete Works for Unaccompanied Violin, was released in early 2008 to critical acclaim. In addition to praise from Gramophone, Strings magazine, and All Music Guide, CD Hotlist writes "yes, that's a single instrument in the G major Prelude"; and MusicWeb International recommends that "all with an interest in the history of the violin repertoire, or in the ‘English’ music of the seventeenth century should hear this CD..."
Mr. Wood Uribe is a regular performer with the Berkshire Bach Society, appearing as soloist alongside artists such as Eugene Drucker of the Emerson Quartet, Carol Wincenc, Aldo Abreu and Kenneth Cooper. His chamber concerts in the Musica Viva Festival of New Jersey have been broadcast across the United States on WWFM the Classical Network. Mr. Wood Uribe has served as concertmaster of New York Philomusica, is a soloist and Concertmaster for the Vermont Mozart Festival, and performs throughout the United States with the New York Chamber Soloists. From 1989 to 1997, Mr. Wood Uribe was a member of The English Mozart Players, as both soloist and Concertmaster with the group in the U.K. and throughout Europe.
