Listeners may envision dancers swirling around the room as he blends irresistible Latin music with other engaging melodies. Matthews is a classical guitarist, performer, teacher, percussionist, clinician and composer.

He also has performed extensively throughout the United States. Wherever he performs, he draws rave reviews for his lively and multicultural guitar music flavors. Advertisement: He recently performed with a Brazilian musician and others at Mt. Hood Community College, where the blend of Latin-inspired music and classical was described as stellar by reviewers. Matthews mastered numerous guitar techniques and styles, including classical, Baroque, Flamenco, and Brazilian. He holds a degree in guitar performance, and continues to attend master classes with many of the world's best guitarists. He is on the faculty at Lewis and Clark College and Oregon Episcopal School in Portland. Concert-goers may look forward to an evening of rare musical pleasures during this fourth program in the Classics at the Chateau musical series, organized by Sue Williams, a board member for Illinois Valley Community Development Organization. Williams commented, "Allen was here with the Scott Kritzer concert last October. His playing and rapport with the audience was an instant success. I'm very pleased the Chateau is hosting this marvelous artist." Key 1
