Patricia Fong-Edwards has been a full-time violinist with the Louisville Orchestra since 1997.  In addition to the violin she enjoys piano, jazz vocals, composition, visual arts and writing.


 
Ms. Fong-Edwards offers unique and exciting presentations for all age groups that motivate audiences to pursue their talents, build confidence, and serve their community with creativity.

Educating, uplifting and entertaining, Patricia's special school programs will keep students on their toes.  Her presentations include a variety of classical music, jazz, illustrations, and active audience participation.  Eclectic musical examples are used to communicate the beauty of diversity and the uniqueness of each individual.  Patricia places importance in emphasizing that we are each a valuable gift to society, by being ourselves and helping others.  The concept of community involvement is reinforced as she teaches about playing in an orchestra by inviting students to perform and "jazz" with her during the final piece.

Ms. Fong-Edwards' presentations have been well received in various circles including Adult Catholics Together, Heritage Christian School, Kosair Children's Hospital and St. Paul United Methodist Church (Wesley Night for kids).  She is also an active music volunteer for Norton Healthcare Foundation and American Red Cross.
