Leyla Cemiloglu is a concert pianist based in London, with a particular interest in exploring intersectionality in the arts, through collaboration with living composers, championing minority composers and seeking inspiration from other art forms.
Leyla enjoys combining these interests and presenting them alongside her extensive knowledge of the mainstream classical repertoire, with the intention of finding a deeper meaning and relevance that speaks to current and future audiences, performing frequently across the UK as well as in Europe, Turkey and Northern Cyprus.
Leyla studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School for eight years, under the tutelage of Prof. Ruth Nye MBE. She went on to study with Prof. Joan Havill at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, for both her undergraduate and postgraduate studies, supported by the Guildhall School, the AJA, the William Barry Trust and the Headley Trust. During this time Leyla was Highly Commended in the 2018 Romantic Prize, a finalist in the 2020 Glass Sellers’ Beethoven Prize, and awarded the Concert Recital Diploma.
Leyla is grateful for the close guidance of legendary Turkish pianist İdil Biret, on whose invitation Leyla performed Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in July 2023 in Bodrum, Turkey, as part of the festival held in her name.
In addition to her solo appearances, Leyla is a member of Piano Circus, the original six-piano contemporary music ensemble. The group recently performed Graham Fitkin's seminal triptych "Loud, Line and Log" at the Philharmonie Luxembourg to great acclaim.
Other recent and upcoming projects include a radio-broadcast concert of music by Frank Zappa for BBC Total Immersion, with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama’s Ubu Ensemble, solo recitals at the University of Surrey and for the Spanish keyboard music organisation FIMTE, and a fundraising concert in aid of earthquake relief in Turkey and Syria, for which Leyla founded and organised the Evil Eye Ensemble.
Leyla is also in demand as a collaborative pianist, and places great importance on education, working frequently with instrumentalists and singers, as well as for instrumental teaching studios and schools such as City of London School for Girls. When not at the piano, Leyla enjoys reading, attending art exhibitions, and escaping to the seaside.

Smooth Sunday Sessions with Tony Dobson
Café in the Arts, St George’s Arts Centre, St George’s Shopping Centre, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 0TA

Tony Dobson
Having got his first guitar from his parents, aged 12, in 1959, Tony started to learn in the Summer of 1960 when coincidentally, The Shadows first hit record, an instrumental called Apache, went to No.1 in the record charts.
Joining forces with a couple of older lads from his school, one of them (Iain) began to teach Tony the basic chords. In 1961 (a month after the Shadows first album had been released which had topped the LP charts) a classmate lent Tony his copy and he was blown away by the 4-piece guitar, bass and drum sounds coming out of the record player!
Later that year, a lad named Geoff who played electric guitar, turned by at Tony’s house to audition him playing along to the latest Shadows record, and from there they sought a bass guitarist, to join the band which happened to be Iain. They played their first gig in the November, and the following year acquired a drummer and a front man. Colin King & The Royals was born. The band continued playing regular gigs until 1963.
Tony and Colin then formed another 5-piece band called Jon Best & The Challengers with a view to becoming professional musicians. After a spell of being the resident Saturday night band at The Scala Ballroom in Dartford supporting bands such as The Hollies etc., their dream finally became a reality in March '64 when they all gave up our day jobs, signed a contract with a very good manager, and traversed England and Wales in a beat up old van playing 5 or 6 nights a week and earning more than their dads, but not getting much sleep!
This lasted until August 1965, and since then Tony has continued to play in bands on and off as a semi-professional for 60 years.
In 2007 Tony started to perform at local open mic nights and since then has had the most successful period of his musical journey as a solo performer, as well as leading his own Holly' s Buddies tribute band since 2015 and it has all snowballed from there, a little late in life but better late than never.

After graduating high school, she continued her musical journey at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with teachers Josef Pacewicz, also receiving masterclasses from Arno Bornkamp, Tim McAllister, Amy Dickson, and Marcus Weiss.

In recent years, Milda has emerged on the contemporary music scene as a dynamic and fervent interpreter of modern piano repertoire with a passion for bringing new works to the forefront of the classical music scene. She has premiered over 30 new works to date with upcoming premieres planned for the 2024/2025 season. Milda’s national debut as a composer came with the dance theatre work 'Plastic Bag Odyssey', which enjoyed acclaim in various Lithuanian festivals during 2020 and 2021.
