Cello playing is at the centre of Matthew Barley’s career, although his musical world has virtually no geographical, social or stylistic boundaries. In his new solo show, Matthew takes us on a trip through early Central European shamanism, Europe's timeless Gregorian Chants and four centuries of classical music with works by Gabrielli, Bach, Kodaly, and minimalist composer Steve Reich. A new work by John Metcalfe and a collaboration with DJ Bee/ Peter Wiegold bring us to the UK and today. Matthew is much in demand from top orchestras around the world but is equally at home with chamber music, improvisation, electronics and a range of playing styles from different cultures. Particularly recommended for cello lovers and players young and old.
“I wish more people would think about music the way Matthew Barley does” The Times
