The program will be announced from the stage.
A prolific arranger, Matt has developed
such a substantial library of his own charts
that he is able to put together shows in
virtually every genre of music from big
band, to the Rat Pack, to Motown, to 80s
hits, to smooth and classic jazz. He has
also made a specialty of arranging and
orchestrating symphonic shows for major
international artists. In this capacity,
he has worked with Rosemary Clooney,
Kenny Loggins, Michael Feinstein, John
Pizzarelli, Toto, Michael Mc Donald and
more. As a conductor, he has appeared
with ensembles including the symphony
orchestras of Cincinnati, Columbus,
Florida, Houston, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Nashville, Oregon, St. Louis and
Utah, among others. Recent and upcoming engagements include returns to the
Cincinnati Pops, Columbus Symphony,
St. Louis Symphony, Nashville Symphony
and New Hampshire Music Festival, as
well as debuts with the Phoenix, Long
Beach, Hartford, Victoria and Omaha
symphonies.
Largely self-taught, Matt Catingub
began learning the piano at age seven
before switching to the alto saxophone at
16. One year later, he was asked to play at
the Monterey Jazz Festival, becoming the
youngest member of the Louie Bellson
Big Band and establishing himself as a
premier jazz musician.
