Honoring Matt Hinsley’s 30 Years of Leadership

In 1996, Austin Classical Guitar was a small, volunteer-run organization with a $5,000 budget. That same year, Matt Hinsley arrived in Austin and brought to ACG a bold new vision for how music could serve the community.

In the 30 years since, he has built something extraordinary.

Under Matt's leadership, Austin Classical Guitar has become one of the most respected nonprofit arts organizations in the nation — home to world-class concerts, groundbreaking education programs, and community services that change lives every day. From juvenile justice centers to the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, from public school classrooms across the US to orphanages in Nepal and Uganda, Matt’s work has opened doors, lifted voices, and inspired excellence.

We invite you to join us in paying tribute to Matt and all that he has accomplished over the past three decades. You are welcome to write a note to share with him, and if you feel inspired, to make a meaningful gift in his honor to help ensure the continued growth and impact of his life’s work.

Interested in celebrating with us in person? We’ll be honoring Matt (and ACG’s 35th season!) with a special gala event called SPARK: Ignite the Future, on Saturday, April 12, 2026. We’d love for you to join us for this joyful evening of music, memories, and connection.

Thank you.

Whether you make a gift, share a note for Matt, or attend the gala (or all three), your presence, support, and belief are the fuel for all that we do at ACG.
