‘Seasons Of The Heart’ explores the theme of love and its many faces. It has been a career long ambition of Matthew’s to include strings on some of his arrangements so, for the very first time, musicians from the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music will be joining him on stage. There will also be a guest appearance from vocalist and friend Olivia Safe who has collaborated with renowned producer Trevor Horn and was a featured artist on Jeff Beck’s Grammy Award winning album Emotion & Commotion.
