‘I have taught many conductors through the years and Matthew is among the most talented’
Neeme Järvi
Matthew Straw is an emerging conductor whose authority, musical insight and calm leadership have already earned the confidence of major opera houses and orchestras. Trained as a singer, he brings an instinctive understanding of the voice to his work in opera, while his roles at Opéra national du Rhin and the Utah Symphony have given him unusually broad podium experience across a wide range of repertoire.
‘Everything that I do is about changing the sound, influencing time and providing people with information they need’
