MATTHEW DODD studied the bassoon with Martin Gatt while at school in Aberdeen, and continued to play intensively while reading mathematics at Worcester College, Oxford, and subsequently at Trinity College, Cambridge.  He continued his bassoon studies with, among others, William Waterhouse and Kim Walker, and has performed in masterclasses with Pascal Gallois, Klaus Thunemann and Milan Turkovic.  He has an active interest in contemporary repertoire, having given performances of Berio's Sequenza XII for solo bassoon, The Inner Garden, commissioned from the composer and harpsichordist David Gordon, at the Salisbury International Arts Festival 2005, and the new Modal Partita for bassoon and piano by Tim Ridley.  He has given a number of performances of the principal classical bassoon concertos, by Mozart, Hummel and Weber, premièred the concerto written by his father Raymond Dodd in a concert celebrating Aberdeen University's quincentenary, and performed the Jolivet concerto with Salisbury Sinfonia last year.
