A musician with a passion for stories.
Matthew Todd is a classically trained tenor, composer, choral director and author based in Glasgow. His work — on the concert platform, in the community and on the page — is united by a desire to connect with people.
What Matthew does.
Six strands of work, one voice behind them. Each builds on the others — the singer writes the songs, the writer trains the choir, the community musician shapes the concert programme.
Tenor
Classically trained, opera and art song across Scotland and beyond.
Bard
Ballads and Scots songs with Kentigern harp, in the tradition of the troubadours.
Choral Director
Director of choirs of all ages and abilities, from Edinburgh to the Gorbals.
Composer
Choral works, art song and film music — including 'Such is the Kingdom'.
Writer
Author of 'For the King' and 'Never Work with Children!'
Community Musician
Music for the vulnerable, the isolated and the joyful — at the heart of his work.
“Matthew is a very special musician. He is modest and utterly charming, with an extraordinary musical presence.”
