Kingston Philharmonia was founded in 1974 by Walter Wurzburger, a composer, player, conductor and teacher in Kingston. He conducted us for 18 years

From 1998, for the next 15 years, we were conducted by Levon Parikian, who consolidated the standard and reputation of the Orchestra.

In 2018 we were fortunate in securing the services of Lewis Gaston as our conductor and Musical Director. We are an established part of the musical landscape in Kingston-on-Thames, giving three concerts a year, normally in St Andrew's Church, Surbiton.

When we have vacancies, we are delighted to welcome new members. We occasionally have vacancies for wind and brass, for which there is an informal audition. Please see the join us page for more details on current vacancies and how to apply.
