Patrick Neher

Please take a look at ISG Publications to see my latest compositions and publications of other composers and writers.

I create and support colllaborations, in music and multi-media. As a Concert Artist and Professor of Music, I traveled the world performing and teaching, and I have enjoyed being a part of the rapid development of bass pedagogy.

Though retired from University teaching, I'm heavily involved in promoting composers of new classical music for strings, teaching double bass and composition, and producing recordings.

On the road again!

For 28 years, while Professor at the University of Arizona, Patrick Neher taught music, music theory, chamber music, composition, music and dance collaborations, and specialized in collaborations across various disciplines; science, art, theatre, music, and dance. Professor Neher developed unique double bass studio course offerings (many studios today are modeled on Neher's innovation), created homogeneous syllabi across the String Area, directed career development for the School of Music, promoted cross-disciplinary collaborations, and created workshops and symposia.

One of the World's top bassists, Patrick Neher is a consummate performer, who's career has taken him around the world to perform in cities on five continents; from Italy, France, the UK, and Germany, to Australia and China, to South and North America.

A graduate of the Juilliard School (student of David Walter, MM 1981), Mr. Neher is an enthusiastic proponent of the teaching and performing methods of Francois Rabbath, and is the 5th recipient of the coveted Performance and Teaching Diploma from the Rabbath Institute.

Patrick Neher's performance repertory includes hundreds of traditional and contemporary compositions, and he has recorded a huge number of solo repertory pieces for double bass, including the only recording of all 12 Waltzes of Dragonetti, and six "salon music" works of Luigi Negri. Mr. Neher's publisher, ISG Publications / ISG Music Promotions (ASCAP) is the sole, world-wide publisher of certain chamber and solo compositions for double bass, including Neher's award-winning Suite PouSto for violin, bass, and piano, his three concertos for double bass and orchestra, four sonatas, two symphonies, numerous chamber orchestra pieces, and many other chamber compositions featuring the double bass.
