Matthew shared, "I think there’s something special that happens when a group of people with wildly different backgrounds, interests, and musical abilities come together to celebrate their sense of community by working toward a shared goal of creating something beautiful. Much of my professional career has been dedicated to working with similar kinds of groups, and I’m excited to experience the community that exists within the PTSO."
