Oxshott & Cobham
Music Society
2025–26 Season
Welcome to world-class concerts in Claygate
We are delighted to invite you to our 2025-26 season of international chamber music concerts in Claygate, Surrey – the 83rd season of this prestigious classical music society.
This season we have two celebrity concerts. On 18 October, Ofer Falk performs a special arrangement for solo violin and strings of Beethoven's ever-popular Violin Concerto in D, with the ECO graduates ensemble. In January 2026, we welcome the return of concert pianist Daniel Lebhardt for a programme that includes Chopin's Sonata No 3 and Beethoven's Sonata No 17, alongside Liszt and Schumann.
On 15 November, you are warmly invited to join us at 6.30pm for a free pre-concert talk on Janacek’'s String Quartet No 2, 'Intimate Letters', which the internationally-acclaimed Fibonacci Quartet will perform for us for our Patrons' Concert (starting at 7.30pm). They will also play string quartets by Haydn (Op 33) and Beethoven (Op 131).
Virtuoso trumpet player Aaron A Akugbo showed us the versatility of his instrument last season in a duo and returns in February with the Connaught Brass quintet for what promises to be another exciting evening.
We hope you will enjoy this varied season of concerts in Claygate by these and our other highly-talented international soloists and ensembles. For full details click here.
