RISING STAR TO TAKE THE STAGE IN CLAYGATE

A rapidly rising star in the world of classical music brings the latest season of concerts from the Oxshott & Cobham Music Society to an exciting climax, when Coco Tomita, the highly acclaimed young violinist, appears in Claygate’s Holy Trinity Church on Saturday March 22, accompanied by Simon Callaghan on piano.

The Oxshott & Cobham Music Society holds six concerts a year in Claygate and attracts some of the finest classical musicians in the world. Coco Tomita is the latest example, having won the BBC Young Musician award for the strings category in 2020.

Coco and Simon will perform Debussy's Violin Sonata in G Minor, Prokoviev's Violin Sonata No.1 and Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No.9 (Kreutzer). The two musicians play regularly together and released their first record in 2022. Coco is based in London and Berlin and performs internationally.

The concert start at 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church. Tickets are £22, with reduced rates for family groups. Children and students under 26 (with ID) enter free, as do OCMS members. NHS workers and Universal Credit recipients pay £5.
