This event is now in the past
We close our 2026/27 Smith Square season with a programme full of warmth, colour and summer sounds.
We’re joined by violinist Elena Urioste for Max Richter’s bold reimagining of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, a work that transforms one of the most familiar pieces in classical music into something cinematic, hypnotic and strikingly new.
The programme also features Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, one of the great works for string orchestra. Expansive, lyrical and deeply expressive, it brings the season to a close with music of elegance, richness and emotional sweep.
A radiant summer evening of strings, from Baroque inspiration to Romantic warmth.

Tom Fetherstonhaugh
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.
