Beethoven Symphony no.7
Always a highlight of Fantasia’s season, we return to Proms at St Jude's to open the 2026 festival.
This marks our eighth year at this important and special cultural celebration, which raises money for North London Hospice and Toynbee Hall.
Join us and the remarkable pianist Junyan Chen for an evening of music from the Classical period, featuring Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no.1, and his exhilarating Symphony No. 7.
Royal Academy graduate and 2024 Leeds Competition Second Prize winner Junyan Chen is fast becoming one of today’s most exciting pianists.
Known for her adventurous programming and equally engaging virtuosity, Junyan Chen completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music and took Second Prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2024.
Tom is Fantasia's Conductor & Artistic Director.
Tom’s musical journey began aged four, when his grandmother introduced him to an inspiring violin teacher. At eight, he became a Westminster Abbey chorister, describing the experience as “transformative”, and later attended Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School.
Alongside violin, singing and organ, Tom discovered conducting and a love of bringing musicians together. In 2016, during his final year at school, he founded Fantasia Orchestra.
Today, Tom works with major orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic and National Symphony Orchestra Ireland. Away from music, he enjoys running, jazz and cooking, a process he likens to conducting through balance, pacing and collaboration.
