Fantasia Orchestra was founded in 2016 by conductor Tom Fetherstonhaugh and is home to the best of young British classical music talent today.
In 2024, Fantasia made its debut at the BBC Proms with two concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC 4. With repertoire ranging from Bartok, Brahms and Dorak to Laura Mvula, Piazzolla and Chic, the debut won Fantasia a host of new admirers and is still available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
The orchestra has a busy schedule at festivals and venues across the country, with recent and forthcoming engagements including Deal Music and Arts Festival, Guiting Music Festival, Northern Aldborough Festival, Proms at St Jude’s, and Ryedale Festival.
Fantasia regularly collaborates with eminent soloists, recently including Martin James Bartlett, Alim Beisembayev, Jess Gillam, Isata Kanneh-Mason, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Vadym Kholodenko, Jennifer Pike, Laura van der Heijden, and Steven Osborne. This season, the orchestra welcomes Dame Evelyn Glennie, Ben Goldscheider, and Toby Spence amongst others.
Fantasia is a charity, and part of its mission is to broaden the reach and accessibility of music. Education is central to our ethos, and the orchestra enjoys a partnership with the music education charity DaCapo Music Foundation. As DaCapo’s orchestra-in-residence, Fantasia works closely with students from across London and beyond on a range of initiatives, including a new resource for the primary classroom, DaCapo Online.
