His instrumental compositions blend neoclassicalism with prominent ostinatos and expansive texture, while his electronic music exists between the worlds of ambient electronica and sound collage. Matthew’s music has been featured across the United States, in venues such as New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall (Boston, MA), Plimpton Shattuck Black Box Theatre (Boston, MA), Tufts Distler Performance Hall (Medford, MA), 102 Franklin Art Loft (New York, NY), Slippery Rock University (Pittsburgh, PA), University of Iowa’s Voxman Music Center (Iowa City, IA), and the First Baptist Church of Chattanooga (Chattanooga, TN).

Collaborators include the New England Conservatory Philharmonia and Wind Ensemble (for his works Azure, In Spring, and Mother Nature & Father Sky), the Midwest Graduate Music Consortium (as winner of the MGMC 2024 Call For Scores), Vox Novus, and the b# chamber trio. Recently, Matthew was named a winner of the 2023–2024 NEC Honors Ensemble Composition Competition, in which a commissioned work for piano trio, is it still autumn?, was premiered at the Trio Tyche Honors Recital in Jordan Hall.

Matthew is also an accomplished chorister, singing in the NEC Chamber Singers (under Erica Washburn) and First Baptist Church of Boston choir. He was previously part of the Cappella Clausura Smyth Mass in D Project, singing in the New England premiere/world premiere of the new edition of Ethel Smyth’s Mass in D (under Holly Druckman and Amelia LeClair).

Matthew is enrolled in the Tufts University/New England Conservatory (NEC) Dual-Degree Program regarded as “one of the most selective and intensive programs of its kind.” He is pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Composition/Music Technology under Michael Gandolfi and John Mallia at NEC and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics at Tufts. As a musician of Filipino descent, Matthew hopes to be an advocate for diversity in composition, a field in which Filipinos are heavily underrepresented. Matthew is affiliated with the performance-rights organization American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).2d:["$","$L4b",null,{"enabled":false,"children":["$","div",null,{"className":"relative h-[calc(100vh-4rem)] overflow-y-auto","children":[["$","div",null,{"className":"mx-auto w-full max-w-7xl p-6 sm:p-10","children":[["$","$L4c",null,{"user":{"id":"021e7b77-48df-47dd-88da-e5ba00754cda","name":"Matthew Tirona","role":"basic","handle":null,"image":null,"bio":"$4d","bioContent":{"type":"doc","content":[{"type":"paragraph","attrs":{"level":3,"typographyRole":"smallBody"},"content":[{"text":"$4e","type":"text"}]}]},"privateProfile":false,"allowContact":false,"externalLinks":[{"url":"https://matthewtirona.com/"},{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/@matthewtirona"}],"email":"mt6671@necmusic.edu","site":null},"bioComponent":"$L4f","initialWorksData":{"works":[{"id":"k2m41cmjbqcusz29nk0xmt2k","userId":"021e7b77-48df-47dd-88da-e5ba00754cda","title":"Pie Jesu","composer":"Matthew Tirona","views":43,"publishedAt":"$D2025-03-10T16:32:39.501Z","duration":207.702,"yearComposed":null,"thumbnail":"https://d1oqjeq19gt82y.cloudfront.net/021e7b77-48df-47dd-88da-e5ba00754cda/k2m41cmjbqcusz29nk0xmt2k/53e74fc3-c38d-4128-b7c2-023905906603/1-345.webp","isScoreReady":true,"isAudioReady":true,"waveformUrl":"https://media.scorefol.io/021e7b77-48df-47dd-88da-e5ba00754cda/k2m41cmjbqcusz29nk0xmt2k/n91do21enb9jr8yqrnt62axj/waveform.png","isVideoReady":false,"isSyncedViewDisabled":false,"isAnySlideSet":false,"externalLinks":[],"video":null,"user":{"id":"021e7b77-48df-47dd-88da-e5ba00754cda","image":null,"handle":null,"role":"basic"},"instrumentTags":[],"ensembleTypes":[],"renderLayoutSettings":null}],"nextCursor":{"publishedAt":"$D2025-03-10T16:32:39.501Z","views":43,"duration":207.702,"yearComposed":null,"id":"k2m41cmjbqcusz29nk0xmt2k"}}}],"$L50"]}],false]}]}]
