Joseph Pach (b. 1928) is a Canadian Violinist who studied with Christoff Dafeff at the Toronto Conservatory of Music from 1933-45, and with Kathleen Parlow at the University of Toronto until 1947 when he made his symphonic debut playing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (Op 35 in D-Major) with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He has since played and toured with many orchestras including the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Halifax Symphony Orchestra, CBC Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, and others.
With pianist (and wife) Arlene Nimmons, they formed The Duo Pach in 1960 and spent the next few years touring England, Germany, and Canada. It was during their 1964 Canadian tour that the University of New Brunswick invited them to be Resident Musicians. The couple accepted and moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick where they worked and presented free Friday noon hour concerts for the next 6 years performing just about all the Violin and Piano repertoire.
Joseph graduated from the University of Toronto with an Artist Diploma in 1947, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from St. Thomas University (New Brunswick) in 1988 and an Honorary Doctorate of Literature from the University of New Brunswick in 1993.
While serving as Musicians In Residence at the UNB, Joseph founded and lead the Brunswick String Quartet and continued the free Friday noon hour recitals for another 17 years. The BSQ performed, toured, recorded and broadcast across Canada and throughout Eastern USA until 1989.
