Composer

Music written to be performed — from full-length musicals to the carols a choir sings by candlelight.

Brought up in a village church choir in Cookham, Matt has been writing ever since: five full-scale musicals, five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival, and the 2022 Sir David Willcocks Carol Competition to his name. Many of his pieces are written for the very singers who premiere them.

The Mission Theatre commissioned over 80 minutes of music across two nights — performed first in Bath, then to sell-out audiences at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall.

02
Music for film orchestra

An orchestral score composed to an unknown film — a study in scoring picture without the picture’s name.
