Our next concert will be a special tribute performance by Andy Strain in memory of our dear friend, the incredible trombonist Toyoji Tomita. Toyoji performed many times at Meridian and worked with the youth in the Meridian Interns Program to plan and build the garden in our former gallery space.
Trombonist Andy Strain will remember his friend and mentor with a solo performance that will include a storytelling of "The Bremen Town Musicians" by the Brothers Grimm.
Andy befriended Toyoji at Mills College in 2006. The two worked and performed together after Toyoji hired Andy as manager of his gardening company. In 2008, Andy took over Toyoji's work with Meridian’s youth interns in the garden after Toyoji’s passing.
Cost: 10 / 15
