Surrey Philharmonic Orchestra Concert 1st March 2025

Join us on March 1st for a varied & melodic orchestral concert at St George’s Church Ashtead.

Prize winning Catalan cellist Gerard Flotats brings us Tchaikovsky’s elegant & ever popular Variations on a Rococo Theme. Gerard will also play a gem of the Romantic era, Romanze for cello & orchestra in F major, from a young Richard Strauss.

Other gems include an overture from Mendelssohn & two short pieces by Delius. The concert will close with a short symphony from a young Camille Saint-Saens.

Epsom Symphony Orchestra Concert, Romance & Revolution

Looking ahead, the orchestra’s next concert includes Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture, from which you’re sure to recognise the haunting love theme. Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini features Cypriot pianist Christos Fountos. Mr. Fountos, born in Nicosia in 1997, began his piano studies at the age of five and made his orchestral debut at 17 with the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra. This classical feast concludes with Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, a work of profound emotional depth & musical ingenuity.
