The Surrey Philharmonia’s first concert of the year will take place on Saturday, 28th February, at St George’s church, Ashtead.

Schumann’s cello concerto in A minor was completed in just under two weeks & was never played in the composer’s lifetime.
Our soloist is Kosta Popovic who was born in 2000 into a musical family in Podgorica, Montenegro. The winner of many international competitions, Kosta is the founder member of the prize winning Fibonacci Quartet.
