Matthias McIntire - A Little Light Music

Entrance free - reservations not required.

Lamp’s Composer-in-Residence, performer, and educator Matthias McIntire has followed a unique path through music-making and his compositions reflect his eclectic background in performance (violin, viola, voice, and electronics), Western classical and new music, as well as jazz, fiddle, free improvisation, field recording, foley art, and electronic music.

Matthias creates varied work for acoustic instruments, with and without electronics, and has found inspiration from a variety of sources including personal expression, connection and collaboration with others, a love of nature, the urgency of climate change, making and using his own field recordings, the spaces between musical genres he has studied, feelings of mystery and magic in the world, and his time spent traveling, to name a few.

Matthias holds a DMA in Composition from the University of Toronto, as well as Masters and Bachelors degrees in Violin Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Glenn Gould School, respectively.
