Patrick M . Green
“ I decided to include the BSO in my estate plans because it is a world-class orchestra and I want others to enjoy this great music for many more decades — including the next 100 years !”
The eldest of 12 children , Patrick Green was born in Dixon , Illinois and began his love of music through piano lessons from ages 9 to 12 , playing on his grandmother ’ s piano . After earning a Business Administration degree from St . Mary ’ s University in Minnesota , he received a post-graduate degree in Theology and a Master ’ s in Psychology from Catholic University in Washington , D . C ., where he developed a lifelong appreciation for classical music .
Mr . Green soon applied his business acumen and counseling skills to a 30-year career in business consulting as president of Patrick M . Green and Associates , focusing on human resources , marketing and affordable housing for military personnel and university students , while continuing to provide pastoral counseling to individuals and groups . His love of music continues to be a central part of his life as a long-time subscriber to the BSO , Annapolis Symphony , Kennedy Center and other arts organizations throughout the region . In addition Mr . Green enjoys being active through ballroom and swing dancing .
When Mr . Green learned about the BSO ’ s Centennial Challenge to secure 100 new estate gifts by the end of the Centennial year 2016 , he wanted to help the BSO meet its goal . He notes , “ I decided to include the BSO in my estate plans because it is a world-class orchestra and I want others to enjoy this great music for many more decades — including the next 100 years !”
