Bringing a breadth of experience as an orchestral, solo, jazz, and doubling musician, Matt Libera (bass clarinet) joined the Piedmont Wind Symphony in 2016. A strong competitor for the “most versatile” award, Matt also has an affinity towards modern and electronic music compositions and a true love for the bass instruments. In addition to the PWS, Matt can be heard in ensembles throughout the state, most commonly the Greensboro Symphony, Quintet Sirocco, the Western Piedmont Symphony, and Carolina Philharmonic. When not making music, he can usually be found whispering to computers as a software engineer building web applications for both work and fun. Matt is a graduate of Ithaca College (BM, Music Education and Performance) and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (MM, Clarinet Performance). When not working, Matt invites you to join him for a round of disc golf or perhaps an afternoon of homebrewing.
