Patrick Fallon is a pianist from West Haven, CT At the age of 6, Pat had an immense curiosity about music, especially the piano. He began his musical career by teaching himself how to play his grandmother’s two-tier, 88-key Lowry Pageant Organ. From that humble beginning, Pat broadened his musical horizons in many different facets. With his knowledge of multiple instruments, Pat’s musical talent is not just limited to musical performance. Pat has had experience conducting large musical ensembles, serve as an assistant musical director & conductor for Stratford Academy’s musical production of My Fair Lady in 2007, and pit musician in West Haven High School’s production of The 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee in 2018.
