Matt Major Violin

With a colorful blend of neo classical, fusion jazz, and soul, Major brings a rare, yet new sound to the stage with his sound. Ever since he was a child, he desired to play the violin on a professional level. To him, that meant being pro enough for the symphony, or the big stage with a jazz or rock band. While Major has been described as talented, friendly, and a strong improviser by colleagues, matt writes his own original music and spends time perfecting classical excerpts for orchestral auditions. Major channels the energy of the California spirit into his music, and his aim is to bring people from different cultures together.

Matt does all his performances memorized without the use of a music stand. He is currently a violin fellow with the San Francisco Academy Orchestra and will train under Wyatt Underhill, the associate concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony. Matt has performed in Havana, Cuba, Prague, Czech Republic, Valencia, Spain, and is now currently based in Discovery Bay, California. He has performed at the Beverly Hill’s food and wine festival in Los Angeles, CA, the WE-DAY festival at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA, the farm-to-fork festival in Sacramento, CA, and the ciudad de artes y ciencias in valencia, spain.
