For our May gig, come and join us for an Epsom Jazz Club first! We are excited to be welcoming our first harpist. Alina Bzhezhinska is a composer, recording artist, band-leader and one of the leading and most musically creative harpists in the world today. She won the Parliamentary Jazz Award’s Best Ensemble of the Year in 2024 for her group, the HipHarpCollective. She will be joined by saxophonist Tony Kofi, who is well known to us having played for us last year as part of Sharp Little Bones line up. They will be joined by special guest playing percussion, Joel Prime.

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.
