Join us for a truly special occasion - our RGS 350 New York City Gala Dinner at the wonderful Kimmel Center, New York University in the Rosenthal Pavilion on the tenth floor, to celebrate the 350 anniversary of Reigate Grammar School.

The views back up Fifth Avenue towards the Empire State Building and the city will be breathtaking as the sun sets on Reigatians.

Places for this exceptional evening are limited and the programme will include one or two unforgettable moments. The room itself is home to a nine-foot Steinway piano that was donated by old Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. 

We are delighted that Billy Elliston (RGS 2010-2017) will be tickling the ivories of Sinatra's Steinway throughout the evening. Billy is a 27-year-old pianist and producer from London, and has recently relocated to New York. Introduced to piano by his Dad at the age of three, Billy taught himself to play and began composing piano music at the age of just twelve. Shortly after leaving RGS, he recorded his first album and has since had his music featured across major television platforms, including the TV BAFTAs in both 2018 and 2022. Billy released his second piano album ‘Cycles’ in 2025.

Tickets for the RGS 350 New York City Gala Dinner are priced at $225 and include a three course dinner along with all beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Tickets may be purchased individually or as tables of eight or ten.
