Having made our debut at the Northern Aldborough Festival with Leeds Piano Competition winner Alim Beisembayev in 2024, Fantasia Orchestra returns in 2025, opening the festival with a pastoral programme.
Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen joins Fantasia for Vaughan Williams' much-loved The Lark Ascending, which we precede with Florence Price's song-like Andante Moderato.
Two Serenades by Elgar and Dvorak frame the concert. They flow with lyrical melody, providing a beautiful pairing with Aldborough's idyllic setting.
Born in London, Tamsin Waley-Cohen enjoys an adventurous and varied career. She has performed concertos with the Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Hallé, Liverpool Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony, Royal Northern Sinfonia and BBC orchestras, and is a founding member of the Albion String Quartet.
Tom Fetherstonhaugh is Artistic Director of Fantasia Orchestra, which he founded in 2016.
This year, Tom returns to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, Ulster Orchestra, and Orchestra of Opera North, and makes his debuts with the BBC Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata.
