Surrey Philharmonic Orchestra Concert 23 May 2026

Join the Surrey Philharmonic Orchestra tonight, at 7.30pm, in St George’s church, Ashtead for our first concert of the season. It features Mozart’s flute concerto with award winning soloist Daniel Shao. Adapted, by Mozart, from an original oboe concerto, it is said to be an excellent showpiece for a modern virtuosic soloist.

The concert opens with Schumann’s Overture, Sherzo & Finale. Written rapidly in 1841, the work reflects Schumann’s happiness at marrying Clara Wieck.

You will also hear Beethoven’s 8th symphony. Described as compact & witty, it is Beethoven’s penultimate, & shortest symphony.
