MATTRA
Matt and Tracey were members of the Melbourne-based percussion quartet
Woof! which presented its own concert series in Melbourne and was part of
the Musica Viva in Schools programme in Victoria. In 1999 Woof! recorded a
CD of the Tuneful Percussion Works of Percy Grainger. They have been
performing together as Mattra Percussion Duo since 2000.
Mattra has performed for Virtuosi Tasmania and on ABC Classic FM's "Sunday Live" as well as many other recitals which have included premieres of duo
percussion works by international and local composers. Mattra's repertoire
primarily comprises music for vibraphone and marimba as well as works for untuned percussion instruments.
Matthew Goddard
Matthew Goddard has been Principal Timpanist with the Tasmanian Symphony
Orchestra since 1999. Born and bred in Hobart, Matt started his musical journey as a drummer before developing an interest in orchestral percussion which led him to the Victorian College of The Arts in Melbourne, where he completed an Honours Degree
in Music Performance. He maintained a busy freelance career in Melbourne, working primarily with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and was a member of the percussion ensemble Woof!. In 1998 he worked as timpanist and percussionist with Orchestra
Ensemble Kanazawa in Japan before returning home to Tasmania to take up his current position. Outside of TSO, Matt plays percussion with the early music ensemble Sequenza, and
enjoys his own creative pursuits in his studio at home.”
Tracey Patten
Tracey Patten started playing percussion in her school band in Adelaide and
then the Combined South Australian Schools Percussion Ensemble and South
Australian Youth Orchestra. Upon completing a Bachelor of Music in
Percussion at
the Elder Conservatorium she moved to Melbourne to complete Honours at the
Victorian College of the Arts where she was awarded the Willem Van Otterloo
Orchestral Scholarship which enabled her to complete an Advanced Diploma at
the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam.
When she returned to Australia she continued to freelance with many
ensembles, including the Melbourne and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras and
Orchestra
Victoria. Since moving to Hobart in 2000, Tracey has continued to work with
these orchestras and teaches at The Friends' School and with the Tasmanian
