The Toby Tobias Ensemble

TOBY TOBIAS, born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, has immersed himself in all genres of American Music of the last 50 years. His interest in African Rhythms & World Music, coupled with his keen ear for highly intuitive arrangements, has been the hallmark of his writing and performance styles. A graduate of the prestigious Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem Israel, he continues to search for material that stays as close to his musical roots as possible while at the same time reaching for new and exciting musical universes.

JOURNEY FROM JOHANNESBURG
South African-born Toby Tobias shares his story of hope during a time of war and upheaval across three continents, from Johannesburg to Jerusalem... then here.
Toby shares the vivid tale of his life in South Africa under the rule of an apartheid government, then in an Israel on the brink of battle for it's own identity, before finding a home, and many stark parallels, in the United States of America.
JOURNEY FROM JOHANNESBURG performs at theaters, colleges, conferences, festivals, libraries, middle and high schools, and religious and community centers.
His inspiring story and his original songs will enlighten, entertain and touch your heart. Come along on the Journey. Visit http://www.tobytoby.com
