Matt Nakoa Songwriter Classical Concert
Sunday, April 16, 2023, 3-4:30 pm
Join us at FPS for two concerts with Matt Nakoa—an accomplished songwriter, composer, pianist, and guitarist. His piano music has received favorable reviews in publications including The New York Times, and his film scoring has been featured by Disney. Matt now tours regularly with folk music icon Tom Rush. Though not easily pinned down, “In sum,” as a recent review put it, “Matt Nakoa is musically adept, one of those well-kept secrets you just can’t help but celebrate: intimate and genuine soulful and bittersweet, a rich poetic songbook sung in praise to a complicated, emotionally present world.”
The Saturday night show will feature his original songs performed on piano and guitar. (Refreshments will be available during intermission.)
On Sunday afternoon, Matt will perform his original classical compositions on our newly restored Steinway at First Parish. (No intermission.)
Matt is graciously donating his talents so all proceeds will go to support our historic Meetinghouse! Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance via the link below. Tickets are $25 per person (plus $2 online handling fee.)
