Los Angeles: Los Angeles Bach Festival Guitar Concert
Matt Peters found the classical guitar in late 2004 at the age of 18, as he was enrolling in California State University Northridge (CSUN). Matt played electric guitar in progressive and aggressive rock bands throughout High school and gave electric guitar lessons, which he still does today. While he flirted beforehand with a guitar construction career and then a Jazz major, it was only after discovering Bach he decided to begin University studies and transform himself into a classical guitarist in 2004. Although such a late start might not seem ideal, for Matt it was. He was able to devote to himself to the instrument with the immediate understanding of an already accomplished guitarist and the commitment only found in those with professional aspirations. He studied under Steve Thachuk, with excellent results. He received several scholarships and awards during his Bachelors Degree, including the Randy Rhoads scholarship, and participated in the CSUN Honors Guitar Quartet. He studied under Hubert Käppel at the Koblenz Internation Guitar Academy, receiving high marks in his final exam, before completing a Masters degree under Gerhard Reichenbach at the Musikhochschule für Musik und Tanz Kiln. He concertizes and teaches actively in Europe and the United States.

Review: For opera lovers, at last a 'Rake' for L.A., bearded lady and all
Other SoCal student productions followed over the years at San Fernando Valley State College (now Cal State Northridge), Cal State L.A., California Institute of the Arts and Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. Professional productions from San Francisco and Boston toured L.A. in the 1960s, both one-night stands. Another curiosity is that while serving as music directors of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Alfred Wallenstein in 1953 and Esa-Pekka Salonen in 1996 conducted notable productions of the “Rake” overseas, but never at home. -- Los Angeles Times
