Live Projects — Matt Belcher

I create and curate bold new encounters with classical music.

If you’re interested in evolving your concert and audience experience, I can help you reach and engage new audiences.

At the centre of audience development is ‘the product’ itself: concerts, experiences and shows that provide an exhilarating audience experience.

As a creative director and creative producer, the live events I’ve led have engaged genuinely new audiences with a variety of ensembles, venues and heritage sites.

Whether dreaming up a new project in collaboration with your musicians or guest artists, bringing in an existing project like The Orchestral Forest or The Night Sky, or sharing my creative toolkit proven to elevate concert experiences, I can help you attract new audiences, gain profile and open up new commercial possibilities.

The projects on this page are just a handful of those I’ve led, working with orchestras, artists, festivals, awards shows. If you’d like to find out more, please feel free to get in touch and I’d be very happy to speak.

Audience Feedback

“Audience involvement in this concert was like nothing I’d ever experienced. "

Stage to Page - The Orchestral Forest (4.5 Stars)
“The COOLEST concert this evening, don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed an orchestral concert that much. Fantastic concept - more please!!”

Audience Member - The Sound Within
"The audience remains rapt throughout: there’s none of the usual throat-clearing and programme-turning of a conventional concert"

The Reviews Hub - The Night Sky (5 Stars)
“It was completely absorbing and emotionally charged. In the same way that a soundtrack enhances film, the music was even more powerful because of the visuals"

Audience Member - Atmospheres
“Absolutely blown away. An unexpected evening, captivating storytelling, bite-sized classical music - totally magical.”
