“Toril has been involved in various projects, playing with Chineke! Orchestra, as well as being the marimbist in Agreed, a new opera first premiered at Glyndebourne in March 2019. He is also part of the London Philharmonic Orchestra Junior Artists scheme and a regular member of the Horsham Symphony Orchestra.

“This concert will feature the marimba and include a variety of music and styles from the familiar Bach and Debussy to something a little more contemporary including influences from North Africa and Ghana with rhythmically intense and hypnotic music, classical Indian music and a composition by Joe Duddell commissioned by the BBC for solo percussionist Colin Currie.”
