ABOUT MATTHEW VOLLBRECHT
AT FIRST A SINGER
Nothing less than traumatic was the diagnosis that Matthew would be totally blind by the age of three and would eventually need prosthetic eyes. This horrifying diagnosis, rather than defining him, inspired him to unleash his true potential. He remains to this day the youngest in history to win that award. He went on to represent VSA Arts in several performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as well as at the VSA Arts International.
Matthew has performed for and shared the stage with many well-known musicians, actors, dignitaries, and political figures such as Al and Tipper Gore, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Ted Kennedy, Cal Ripkin, Marvin Hamlisch, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sharon Stone, Hugh Downs, Willard Scott, Lavar Burton, the Vogues, and Felicia Raschad. Additionally, Matthew performed for organizations.
While in high school, Matthew began classical vocal training at the Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins University where he studied for three years and then majored in music education at Elizabethtown College.
