ARTZ Notes

Join us on March 14th at 1:30 pm (ET) for a special in-person ARTZ Notes program! After you register, we will send you information and instructions.

Join us for an in-person ARTZ Notes program at Summit Presbyterian Church with Matt Davis, a new ARTZ Notes facilitator!

Matt is a prolific guitarist, teacher, and composer based in the Philadelphia region. He has received numerous awards for his work from ASCAP, the American Composers Forum, Chamber Music America and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, among others. Matt has taught music and guitar at a variety of universities for more than 20 years and currently teaches at Temple University and Mercer County Community College in New Jersey. He has performed across the United States and Mexico as well as in Europe and Asia under his own name and with many incredibly talented artists in a variety of styles. He currently resides just outside of Philly with his wife and two young sons, Owen and Benny.

“I especially find great joy in creating musical opportunities that connect people through personal and communal storytelling, allowing deeper understanding and connection among people who may come from vastly different backgrounds. It is in this spirit that I aim to create musical experiences that engage people, inspire others to create, and ultimately foster more beauty, connection and hope in the world. “


ARTZ Notes invites you to come together with other participants to listen to music, make your own, and engage with each other and the performers. ARTZ Notes offers music and experiences as diverse as our participants. We are exploring different options including facilitating live performances paired with conversations, interactive improvisation and sing-alongs, and conversations and movement around pre-recorded music of all genres.
