Surrey Hills International Music Festival

SURREY HILLS INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL 6-17 May 2025

The Surrey Hills International Music Festival returns for a 16th season with another exciting and varied programme. Highlights include the Festival debut of international choral sensation VOCES8 as well as a solo recital by 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition winner Alim Beisembayev, playing Chopin, Liszt and Ravel. Musicians from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, NY join us for two concerts – romantic chamber music and a programme of Baroque brilliance including two of Bach’s Brandenburg concertos and the Double Violin Concerto. Talks and walks in the Surrey countryside complete the line-up in a whole host of beautiful venues in this big, little Festival in the Hills!

Please see the concert details below.

PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

Join the Surrey Hills International Music Festival for their Miles for Music in March 2025 Challenge, a sponsored walk in which participants are asked to walk or run 100 miles in March!

Walking Boots

Walk a few miles every day of the month or plan longer walks to reach the 100-mile goal. With sponsorship from friends, colleagues, family, or local businesses, you will help us reach our target of £5,000.
 
The money you raise in 2025 will ensure live classical music is available for you and the rising generations of music lovers in years to come. Your help means they can plan three years ahead, engage the most talented musicians from around the world and run all the other charitable projects like the String Scheme and the Surrey Hills Young Composer Competition, as well as providing vital performance platforms for gifted young artists.
