Celloman: Cello Moods & Broods
Celloman presents his new album: Cello Moods & Broods.
The album, released in December 2023, contains a collection of beautifully melodic
original compositions for Cello duo, trio and quartet and is:
“...a fine reminder of the emotional power of the cello” - All About Jazz
This Entertaining and informative solo cello show is split into two halves.
The first half discusses, through played examples, the changing role of the cello in
history from bass instrument to melodic instrument.
The cello is then introduced as a harmonic instrument, much like the guitar, through
a new style of cello playing called Arpezzato, a combination of the words ‘Arpeggio’
and ‘Pizzicato’.
Playing examples taken from his solo cello album: Arpezzato Cello, Ivan uses finger
techniques imported from the world of Pop/Rock, Blues and Jazz including:
‘hammer-on’, ‘hammer-off’, ‘slide’, ‘pop’, ‘slap’, ‘strum’ and ‘Walking bass’.
The second half builds on those same compositions through the addition of bowed
melody and harmony as Ivan performs pieces from Cello Moods & Broods together
with virtual versions of himself.
Duration: 2 x 50 mins with Interval

The Tom Thumb Theatre: A New Era of Magic by the Sea
Nestled in the heart of Cliftonville, Margate, the Tom Thumb Theatre has long been a beloved artistic gem by the sea. Originally built as a Victorian coach house, it was transformed in 1984 into one of the smallest theatres in the world — a curious and captivating blend of Japanese and Alpine architecture, with velvet seats, flocked wallpaper, and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.
Now under the creative direction of Allyson Morgan Jones, the Tom Thumb is entering an exciting new chapter, bringing bold, imaginative programming to this beautifully intimate space. Alongside its roots in theatre, comedy, music, cabaret, poetry and film, the theatre is expanding its offering with immersive events, unique experiences, and bespoke private hires, all while continuing to champion emerging voices and experimental work.
Venue
Tom Thumb Theatre, 2A Eastern Esplanade, CT9 2LB Margate
