Matt Rohde

In addition to co-founding Kithara Project in 2015, Matthew Rohde is a prolific classical guitarist and member of the Great Necks Guitar trio, whose 2022 album, Impressions of Spain, was described by Classical Guitar Magazine as “a wonder to behold.” In 2018, Matthew composed the score to There Will Be Chaos, an HBO-produced, Emmy winning documentary about the experience of migrants in Europe. He completed his studies at Yale College (New Haven, CT), Yale School of Music (New Haven, CT), the Paris Conservatory (Paris, France), and the Accademia Chigiana (Siena, Italy). Somewhat afield of his work as a musician and music educator, Matthew is also a ceramicist specializing in wheel thrown fine porcelain. Matthew is based in Mexico City, where he teaches at Kithara Project’s Mexico school and maintains a porcelain studio, Rohde Clay. He has two dogs, Maya and Paloma (pictured).
