He belonged to a well-known family line of organists: he served as his father's assistant and in 1799 succeeded him as organist of York Minster. After Matthew himself retired in 1842, his son succeeded him. His impromptu organ playing showed not only dazzling technique and musicianship but also a thorough grounding in the tenets of theory. He played an active part in the musical life of York, promoting music festivals and appearing as a soloist in piano and organ concertos.
