Surrey Philharmonic Orchestra Concert, 28th February

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