Musical Director 2015-2024. Matthew was born in Neath, South Wales, and began his Music studies when he took up learning the piano at the age of sixteen. Since then he has gone on to complete both a degree in Music and a Masters in Music Composition at Cardiff University, finishing his education at the end of 2016.
 

During his undergraduate degree he decided to take up conductingj lessons, and from this went on to become a founding member and Musical Director of the Cardiff University Jazz Choir – a role that he had stepped down from in 2015 after two successful years at the helm. Music and composing are of course Matthew's biggest passions, and during his studies would often write for small-scale ensembles with influences drawing from film, video game, pop and jazz genres. He was also part of the Contemporary Music Group at the university, where he performed and conducted many of his own and other students' compositions throughout many concerts.
