The Toomai String Quintet will make its second appearance in Jersey City as part of the fabulous Con Vivo Chamber Music Series.  We will be presenting a concert featuring a quintet by the 19th Century French composer Georges Onslow, a new work by Richard Carrick, and arrangements of Erik Satie’s Gnossiennes by our good friend Vincent Raikhel. We are also thrilled to announce that we will be joined by singer Alina Roitstein in songs by Celia Cruz, Cachao and more.

The concert will take place at the beautiful Grace Church Van Vorst, starts at 6 PM, and is FREEEEEE!

Hope to see you there!

Toomai in Jamaica 2 

Hi Everyone!

Toomai has had an adventurous month of December! We had a great time performing in Montego Bay, Jamaica! It was lots of fun playing new repertoire in such a beautiful setting.

This past week Toomai had a wonderful Professional Development meeting with our friends at Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections program. It is truly inspiring to see the work that the other groups on the roster are up to!

We are excited about our next Musical Connections performance on January 29th at the Diana H. Jones Senior Center.

Happy Holidays!
