Matthew Naughtin

I am a violinist/violist, composer, arranger and program annotator, and the Music Librarian of the San Francisco Ballet. I've played the violin professionally since 1970, composed and arranged music for orchestras and chamber ensembles since 1987, and written program notes for orchestras and liner notes for recordings since 1992.

My arrangements for string quartet (and quintet) have become indispensable staples of nearly every working quartet's repertoire. My program notes are witty, accessible and informative without being pedantic. My original orchestral compositions and arrangements have gained wide recognition and are played all across America on Christmas, Pops, Youth and Family concerts, and my original chamber music is gaining recognition for its craftsmanship and beauty, and is extensively performed.
