Londoner Matthew Barley is known internationally as cellist, improviser, arranger, music animateur and Director of Between The Notes and the Matthew Barley Ensemble. In recent seasons he has performed at some of the world's great concert halls: London's Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Kumho Hall in Korea, Pablo Casals Hall in Tokyo, The Rudolfinium In Prague, and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. He has also performed at jazz clubs, schools, prisons and a vegan cafe in Edinburgh. Having worked in over 50 countries, he is as comfortable playing concertos with the BBC Philharmonic or New Zealand Symphony as he is improvising with Amjad Ali Khan, Talvin Singh, or DJ Bee; jamming with teenagers in a school; playing Bach’s solo cello suites for BBC Radio 3; or interpreting Shostakovich at the Wigmore Hall. His musical world is about creating cultural and musical connections, ignoring man-made boundaries, and bringing people together.
