Matt receives frequent performances of his compositions and arrangements and has been commissioned both by individual musicians and by established institutions. Most recently, a series of commissions from Concordia Conservatory with support from the ASCAP Foundation has resulted in several one-act musicals for children and many works of chamber music for student performers. His flute sonata Dal Dosai was commissioned by Thomas Robertello and is recorded by him on Crystal Records and by Paul Dunkel on MSR Classics. Additional commissions have come from Collage New Music, The Austin Chapter of Hadassah, New York Youth Symphony Chamber Program, Celebrity Series of Boston, American Guild of Organists Suffolk Chapter, as well as other individuals and friends. His arrangements and orchestrations have been performed by Polygraph Lounge with members of the Cleveland Orchestra, and four of his polka arrangements appear on Polkastra’s debut album Apolkalypse Now! He appears on accordion on Gamelan Galak Tika’s Bronze Age Stone Age.
