Toby has associations with many festivals at home and abroad, highlights including the UK premiere of Francesca Caccini’s La Liberazione di Ruggiero with Brighton Early Music Festival and appearing at festivals in Italy, Holland and Belgium with Ceruleo and Lux Musicae London. Now settled in Greenwich, south-east London with his wife and frequent collaborator, the baroque harpist Aileen Henry, Toby is gaining a reputation as an innovative and exciting performer, working with some of the finest musicians in the business. |
