Matthew Peckham

Matthew Peckham is a multi-disciplinary Chicago-based artist and arts entrepreneur. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (BM 2012), and the Chicago College of Performing Arts (MM 2015), he has performed in operas, musicals, and choruses in numerous venues across the United States.

​He is especially interested in comedy, operetta, and music by living composers. Favorite classic roles include Ko-Ko in The Mikado, Harold Hill in The Music Man, and Jack Point in Yeomen of the Guard. In shows by contemporary composers he has portrayed roles ranging from comic book nerds (Cosmic Ray and the Amazing Chris, by Eric Lindsay), to mathematicians (Charles Babbage in The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace, by Kamala Sankaram) and corrupt army officers (Captain / Drum Major in Woyzeck, by Tom Waits)

Outside of his singing, Matthew is a recording engineer, videographer, and arts entrepreneur. Past projects include co-founding the Chicago Vocal Arts Consortium, serving on the inaugural board of Thompson Street Opera Company, and helping to grow the classical music recording company Atlas Arts Media as its first director of operations.
