Matt Wolf is a classically trained cellist who collaborates and performs in all genres of music as a soloist and with ensembles. Some of the ensembles include a cultural ambassador orchestra that toured China, the Taro Trio which performed all over Chicago at cultural centers connecting classical and world music, and the Surabhi Ensemble, a world fusion music and dance collective. Matt is currently a performing artist with the Healing Arts Program at the University of Chicago Hospital where he provides guests/patients solace through musical performances. He is also an active member of the musical theater pit orchestra scene in and around Chicago.
Growing up Matt had the opportunity to learn and perform in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Allen Tinkham while also working with Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians. This early experience of finding the joy in learning music inspired Matt to continue passing on to other aspiring musicians what he had learned during his years with CYSO. Matt has taught all ages and levels of cello and piano. He finds it a true joy helping students identify goals and guiding them to find their most authentic musical voice and style.
