Patrice Jackson-TilghamCellist Patrice Jackson is carving a name for herself as a gifted and charismatic soloist. The Detroit News has described her as a "big-toned, boldly projected soloist" and the Hartford Courant stated that Ms. Jackson "wowed the audience with effortless facility, playful phrasing and a sense of spontaneity that one hears usually only from the highest caliber of musicians." A native of St. Louis, she began piano with her mother at the age of 3 and cello lessons with her father at the age of eight. At 13 she made her debut with the Belleville Philharmonic Orchestra, performing Elgar's Cello Concerto.
