Specialist Patrick Nyren is currently serving as a euphoniumist in the
1st Armored Division Army Band at Ft. Bliss, TX. He joined the US
Army in 2013 after earning his Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of
Music Degrees in euphonium performance from the University of
North Texas under the guidance of Dr. Brian L. Bowman. Previously,
he received his Bachelors of Music Degree in Music Education at
the University of Southern Maine School of Music, where he began
his college education at the early age of 16 and studied with
Michael S. Milnarik.
Patrick has been very active as a performer for the last several
years. He was been a winner in the University of Southern Maine
(2007) and University of North Texas (2011) Concerto Competitions,
and has appeared at several festivals and conferences as a soloist

the International Tuba Euphonium Conferences in Tucson, AZ
(2010) and Bloomington, IN (2014), the Cosmopolitan Tuba

performing with the Lone Star Wind Orchestra, the Dallas Wind
Symphony, the Allen Philharmonic Orchestra, and the El Paso
Symphony Orchestra.
Most recently, Patrick commissioned a new piece for euphonium
and percussion titled “Ventures” by Howard J. Buss. He gave the
world premiere performance in November, 2014, as a guest artist
at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. In January, 2015,
he was featured on the Military Recital at the US Army Band Tuba
Euphonium Workshop at Ft. Myer, VA and also became a recipient
of the Colonel Finley R. Hamilton Outstanding Military Musician

Patrick lives in El Paso, TX with his wife, Erin, and their two children,
