Recent performances have included the “Friends of Guitar” Festival in Brantford, Ontario. The 2010-2011 season will see the duo performing in Alberta and Ontario. Their forthcoming CD will include works by Brouwer, Machado, Mozart, L’Hoyer, Falla, and Vivaldi. Patrick Feely is a member of the Faculty of the Arts at McMaster University and of the College of Examiners with the Royal Conservatory of Music. He holds an A.R.C.T. in Performance, and a Masters of Music Degree in Performance from the University of Toronto.

A sought after teacher, he is also an instructor with Ambrose University and an examiner with the Royal Conservatory of Music.
