 Patrick Apfelbeck is a musician and event organizer who has been focused on operating shows in the midwest DIY scene for the last 10 years.  As a touring drummer and electronic artist, he has planned and executed extensive tours for his projects, as well as assembled and ran countless shows for musicians touring through the greater Cincinnati area. 

As Chorus Manager, he strives to facilitate the same high level of performer enthusiasm and audience engagement.  He believes that with love for the craft (for the art and the event), clear and open communication, and consistent encouragement, any performance, rehearsal routine, or tour can be very successful with maximum fun and minimal stress.  

He was drawn to the Boychoir for the opportunity to engage with musicians at a very passionate and formative age, his goal being to help provide a great performing experience for the boys that will develop and reinforce the joy of playing music for others.  He is extremely driven towards this end, as instilling this passion at a young age helps build confidence in both the boys' craft and their desire to share it with the world.

When he is not at the Boychoir he is writing, recording and performing music with his groups (including but not limited to) Fruit LoOops, Lashes, Blood Chill, Hissing Tiles, Annihilation, and Fourth Wife.
