Firehouse Arts Center: The TOaG Quartet

One part working band and one part teaching ensemble, The TOaG Quartet is dedicated to producing hard-hitting improvisational music, honoring Black American musical roots, and supporting arts education. Oakland-based ensemble The TOaG Quartet debuts their new music showcase, featuring never before heard compositions from their upcoming third album. The night will span a dazzling breadth of improvisational music, all composed in response to and reflecting on the tumultuous last several years – which hit professional creatives especially hard. Audiences will delight at the dynamic power of this assembly of Bay Area instrumentalists who have been described as “Swinging and Funky,” “Beautiful and Groovin,” “Dark and Spacey,” and “Raw but Refined.”
