Textura Reviews "Dear Camilla"

June 26, 2026

Textura has published a review of Dear Camilla, the new duo album with pianist Jennifer Hou. The review highlights the project's structure — six pieces, each paired with a personal letter to former teacher Camilla Wicks — and singles out the Chausson Poème for the sustained intensity Patrick and Hou bring to its fifteen-minute span, as well as the closing Amy Beach Romance for its warmth.

The reviewer also notes the added resonance of recording the album on Wicks's own 1959 Arthur Edward Smith violin, and describes the project as a heartfelt and musically accomplished tribute to a mentor.
