Matt is a prolific guitarist, teacher, and composer based in the Philadelphia region. He has received numerous awards for his work from ASCAP, the American Composers Forum, Chamber Music America and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, among others. Matt has taught music and guitar at a variety of universities for more than 20 years and currently teaches at Temple University and Mercer County Community College in New Jersey. He has performed across the United States and Mexico as well as in Europe and Asia under his own name and with many incredibly talented artists in a variety of styles.

“I especially find great joy in creating musical opportunities that connect people through personal and communal storytelling, allowing deeper understanding and connection among people who may come from vastly different backgrounds. It is in this spirit that I aim to create musical experiences that engage people, inspire others to create, and ultimately foster more beauty, connection and hope in the world. “


ARTZ Notes invites you to come together with other participants to listen to music, make your own, and engage with each other and the performers. ARTZ Notes offers music and experiences as diverse as our participants. We are exploring different options including facilitating live performances paired with conversations, interactive improvisation and sing-alongs, and conversations and movement around pre-recorded music of all genres.

ARTZ Notes: Grateful for Music, for Life, For Each Other with Molly Hicks

Event Registration Link: Register here.
Locations Details: In-person
Name of Venue: Summit Presbyterian
 6757 Greene Street, Philadelphia, PA 19119
Date and Time: 05/09/2026 1:30 PM
Brief Description of Event: Join us on May 9th at 1:30 pm (ET) for a special in-person ARTZ Notes program! After you register, we will send you information and instructions.

Join us for an in-person ARTZ Notes program at Summit Presbyterian Church with Molly Hicks, a new ARTZ Notes facilitator!

Join music therapist and singer/songwriter Molly Grace Hicks to explore songs with the theme of gratitude. A practice of gratitude can help lower stress, improve mood, strengthen relationships, and release neurotransmitters that improve mood. Whether obvious or implied, many songs reflect on being thankful for people in our lives, for our resources, for the natural world, and for our own ability to grow. In fact, any song could be connected with gratitude if we start with the premise of being grateful for music itself. During our time together, you may sing some familiar songs that automatically connect to the theme, and enjoy other tunes through a new lens. Over the course of the session, we will also collaborate as a group to create a one-of-a-kind gratitude song!


ARTZ Notes invites you to come together with other participants to listen to music, make your own, and engage with each other and the performers. ARTZ Notes offers music and experiences as diverse as our participants. We are exploring different options including facilitating live performances paired with conversations, interactive improvisation and sing-alongs, and conversations and movement around pre-recorded music of all genres.

Please review the following details about visiting Summit:

Location:

Summit Presbyterian is located at 6757 Greene St, Philadelphia, PA 19119

Street parking is available in on the blocks surrounding Summit.

This event will take place in the second floor parlor space, which is accessible from the street level entrance on Westview Street. The space and entrance are both handicap accessible. Someone from ARTZ will meet you at the door and guide you to the parlor.
