Welcome to the Programmes Offered page, where you can browse repertoire and see sample programmes, click on the Concert Biography tab to read about Tom's concert activities, or go to the Enquiries page to make a booking.
The following programmes are suitable for a full-length evening recital, consisting of a first-half of 45 to 50 minutes and a second-half of slightly shorter duration. All the following programmes have been enjoyed by audiences at sometime but are offered here as samples so do feel free to pick and mix items. Tom is always happy to provide programme notes but in the case of some of the lesser-known composers composers he prefers to talk informally to the audience about the various items - it is more entertaining and gets better audience participation.
