Matthew Jones is commonly regarded as one of his generation's leading violists, violinists, and pedagogues. Latest recitals and chamber music venues include London's Wigmore Hall and South Bank and the Prohibited City Concert Hall in Beijing, just as at home as a soloist or chamber musician playing classical or modern repertoire, improvising or working with other art forms; he made his widely praised Carnegie Hall recital debut in 2008. He is a Bridge Duo and Debussy Ensemble violist and was a part of the Badke String Quartet when they won the 2007 Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and is currently a member of Ensemble MidtVest, a Denmark-based, creative ten-piece chamber ensemble whose work combines classical and contemporary production and improvisation. Matthew is also a musician, a graduate of mathematics, and an Alexander Technique and Kundalini Yoga instructor. His systematic approach to music creation has contributed to a great demand for his lectures and seminars on artist empowerment and performance enhancement, including world-renowned conductors and soloists, world champion athletes, and orchestras, including the Modern World Symphony, the Melbourne Symphony, and the European Union Youth Orchestra.
