Patrick Torsell
Welcome to Patrick Torsell's channel, and the home of "Chant Talk," a video series where we take a look at various aspects of Catholic sacred music. Patrick is a staff organist at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, CO; Associate Organist at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish (FSSP) in Littleton, CO; and professional tenor with Denver-based Gaudium Verum. Before returning to CO for his day job as a ski resort executive, Patrick was Choirmaster and Organist at Mater Dei (FSSP) in Harrisburg, PA. Previously he was a seminary organist at the FSSP's Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, NE, and Music Director at Blessed Sacrament Church in Stowe, VT.
During your visit to this channel, you may find other ecclectic videos related to: diesel, skiing, pipe organ, jazz, snowcats, multitrack audio fun, fingerstyle guitar, scholastic philosophy, cigars, Scotch, and who knows what else. If you like it, watch it. If not, don't!
