Martin Sexton puts his signature style on his rendition of this iconic Beatles album combining what Rolling Stone calls his “soul-marinated voice” with his inventive guitar prowess.

America comes together in the music of Martin Sexton. Our hearts mend, our political and philosophical differences melt away, and the various strains of our roots music entangle. Of Sexton, The New York Times says “His unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer’s goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart.”

Sexton has remained true to his mission of sharing peace and harmony throughout his 10 albums, and in countless incendiary live performances. He has thus built a loyal following of fans, including critics and superstar artists. He is without a doubt what Billboard calls “the real thing.”

These days, people are coming together to revel in Sexton’s musicality for his Martin Sexton Abbey Road Show. This is a live show extravaganza in which he performs the iconic Beatles’ album in its entirety followed by a set of mainly original music. Currently, Sexton is also working on his 11^th album, which will be his first full-length album in 10 years.

One of the most beloved chamber music works for strings and piano, Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet not only demonstrates his genius for melody and lyricism, but also features a distinct combination of instruments: only one violin and the addition of double bass. The robust sound of the lowest of the strings can also be heard in Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue, a piece that deepens the string quartet’s tonal range. Original instrumentation is also attributed to Mozart’s set of piano quartets, the first music written for this combination, which inspired future generations of composers. CMS Co-Artistic Director Wu Han is one of the featured performers.

Classical crossover star Matteo is blazing a trail, selling out tours in Europe, North America and Australia. From his first appearance on single ‘Fall On Me’ with his father, Andrea Bocelli in 2018, to singing a reimagined version of ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ with new composition from Hans Zimmer at the 2024 Oscars.

Matteo has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages. His ‘Night With Matteo’ tour has sold out globally-renowned venues including the Sydney Opera House and the Country Music Hall of Fame. He has sung for His Majesty Charles III and Queen Camilla, President Biden and opened for musical legend Lionel Richie. His debut live performance at age 18 was at Rome’s Colosseum, and in 2018 he and his father released ‘Fall on Me,’ a stirring duet amassing over 400 million global streams to date.

Following the success of his recent collaboration ‘Falling Back’ with Polish superstar sanah, Matteo recently unveiled his new single ‘If I Knew,’ featuring multi-platinum and Oscar-nominated artist, Sofia Carson. This heartfelt duet marks another significant step in Matteo’s career, as he continues to forge his own genre, following the success of his self-titled debut album, ‘Matteo.’

‘Matteo’ displays all the facets of his artistry—not just his strong yet vulnerable vocal style, but his songwriting as well. The record also features the singer’s hero, Ed Sheeran, who wrote ‘Chasing Stars’ for Matteo, a sweeping ballad that shows off his upper register.
