Hungarian-born Matyas Veer, bass trombonist at the Stuttgart State Opera since 2018, came into contact with music at a young age as the child of a musical family. Since the age of 8, he has devoted himself to his second passion, singing, in addition to playing the trombone. Encouraged by his parents, he soon took professional lessons and eventually studied trombone at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music (Liszt Ferenc Zeneművészeti Egyetem) in Budapest. Even then, he found the bass trombone particularly interesting. On this instrument he also won several international competitions: among others in 2005 in New Orleans (USA), 2006 in Birmingham (England), 2008 in Jeju (South Korea) and 2016 in Budapest. No other bass trombonist has been able to win all these competitions.

He also won three first prizes at the international level with the Corpus Trombone Quartet, of which he is a co-founder: in Helsinki (Finland) and Guebwiller (France) in 2003, and in Munich in 2005. Matyas Veer worked with renowned orchestras worldwide from an early age. Beginning with an engagement with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, his path led him via the Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest (NedPhO) Amsterdam in 2016 to the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra and finally to the Staatsorchester Stuttgart.

Matyas Veer is also in great demand as a guest musician. Among others, he has already worked with the Palau de les arts "Reina Sofia" (Valencia, Spain), the Philharmonia London (GB), The Hallé Orchestra (manchester, GB), the BR Sinfonieorchester (Munich) or the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest (Amsterdam, NL). Cornelius Meister, Lorin Maazel, Andris Nelsons, Daniele Gatti, Ingo Metzmacher, Christoph von Dohnányi, Lahav Shani and Sir Mark Elder are some of the conductors he worked with during his career so far.

In addition to his artistic ambitions, Matyas Veer is also committed to the further education of young musicians. He holds international master classes at prestigious educational institutions and serves as a jury member of prestigious competitions.

In the course of his teaching activities he teaches as guest professor(s) at universities and conservatories in Rotterdam (2014), Amsterdam (2016), London (2018), Manchester (2018) as well as at the Sibelius Academy in Helsninki 2019 and since 2020 also at the HfM Würzburg.
