About

“Serenade of Strings: Celebrating Beloved Guitar Classics” is a concert where Matt weaves a unique mosaic of melodious pieces, “that would melt even the hardest of hearts” – Limelight Magazine.

 

From the vibrant bossa nova rhythms of Antonio Jobim’s ‘Felicidade’ to the soulful strains of Fransico Tarrega’s ‘Recuerdos de la Alhambra’, embark on a boundary-crossing musical journey with Matt.

His storied career is emblematic of his passion and dedication to the art of music, with collaborations spanning the globe, from eminent orchestras to iconic chamber groups like the renowned Guitar Trek.

Feel the heart-tugging strings of ‘Vincent (Starry Starry Night)’ by Don Maclean and the emotive ‘Cavatina’ by Stanley Myers. Revisit classics as Matt infuses new life into Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Prelude from Cello Suite no. 1′ and The Beatles’ legendary ‘Yesterday’, thoughtfully reimagined by Toru Takemitsu. Experience the zest of ‘Tango En Skai’ by Roland Dyens, and as the evening approaches its zenith, find comfort in the familiar harmonies of ‘Blue Moon’ and ‘Over the Rainbow’.

Join us for an evening that is more than just a concert. With Matt Withers at the helm, expect a symphonic journey that captivates, resonates, and leaves an indelible imprint on the soul.
