Music in Claygate
CLASSICAL CONCERTS ON THE DOORSTEP
Superb classical music is regularly featured in Holy Trinity Church – saving residents the cost and me of a trip to London venues. And the next two events organised by the Oxshott and Cobham Music Society which hosts all its concerts in Claygate, promise no let-up in quality.
On Saturday March 9, at 8pm, the English Chamber Orchestra ensemble, with violinist Ofer Falk, perform Mendelssohn's great Violin Concerto in E minor and String Octet in E-flat major. Doors open at 7.30, with tickets available for £25, in advance or at the door.
Then in April, the young Kleio Quartet, winners of the prestigious Carl Nielsen Competition 2023, play Haydn's String Quartet Op 74 No.3 “The Rider”, String Quartet No.4 in C by Bartok, and two pieces from a Creole-inspired string quartet by American composer Wynton Marsalis. This concert begins at 8pm on Saturday April 6, with doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets are £22.
Concessionary ticket prices are available for NHS staff, with a new discount for parents (or grandparents) bringing children. Children, students under 26 and Universal Credit recipients (with ID) and carers are admitted free. Box Office: janemuir72@gmail.com, 07766 884991. See www.ocms-music.org.uk.
The Society starts its next season on September 28. New brochures should be available on the website in late July or early August, and are also put in local libraries.
