The next TOMS concert is on Wednesday 22 May at 7.30. It is the last concert of the current season, and is a performance by THE KLOUDA QUINTET – you will not have previously heard of this Ensemble, as explained below!

This is a special concert as it is TOMS 5th Birthday concert, and is dedicated to Ian Gow, our Chairman, in appreciation of everything he has done for TOMS over these 5 years.

Ian was the vision behind the creation of TOMS and has devoted a significant amount of time to its success since then, ranging from giving advice from his considerable wealth of musical knowledge on the selection of performers, to folding programmes!

It was felt appropriate that the concert should include an item that is one of Ian’s favourites, and he chose Schubert’s Trout Quintet.

We contacted Ashok Klouda – a wonderful cellist who performed for TOMS a couple of years ago – and asked him invite others to join him in a Quintet. So…..for one night only…… there will be a performance from the KLOUDA QUINTET – created especially for this recital at Boat of Garten.

The items for the first half of the programme were also selected by Ian from choices suggested by Ashok.

I give details of the programme, and members of the KLOUDA QUINTET below
