Live Music with Matty Metcalf
Matty Metcalfe is an accomplished and versatile musician and
ethnomusicologist who is equally at home in the studio and performance
venues as he is in the classroom. His mastery of many different instruments,
from piano and accordion to banjo and guitar, coupled with his ability to
seamlessly move between and within musical styles keeps him busy as both
a session and touring musician. After graduating from the College of William and Mary with degrees in
History and Education, Mr. Metcalfe found himself in demand as a session/
touring musician while also working as a Colonial Balladeer/Historian.
From there, Mr. Metcalfe enjoyed three years teaching classroom music in
Fairfax County, Virginia, before being recommended for the position of
Musical Ambassador at Harvard’s Center for the Study of World Religions.
His duties included facilitating concerts at the school for musicians from
other countries and coordinating master classes and programs with these
various international music acts and Harvard’s educational community.
Mr. Metcalfe’s twin pursuits–teaching and performing music–led him back
to Charlottesville, Virginia–a hub of many musical styles from Appalachian
and Old-Time to Jazz, Classical, and ‘World’. Here, he further developed his
programs–New Orleans Music–Roots, Revision, Revival and Musette
Moderna/Tango a’ Tiempo. In each presentation, he takes listeners on a
journey from the earliest incarnations of the musical style up to modern day
iterations–showing how the idiom (and Art in general) changes, grows,
evolves, and dovetails within and among cultures over time.
