Tom Fetherstonhaugh made his debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra on Sunday 18 October, conducting the opening concert of its 2026/27 season at Eastbourne’s Congress Theatre.
Tom was joined by violinist Ning Feng as soloist in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Their performance formed the centrepiece of a programme that also included Glinka’s overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.
The engagement marks a season of significant orchestral debuts for Tom, who also makes his debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra in 2026/27. Alongside these appearances, he returns to Britten Sinfonia, Welsh National Opera and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and continues his work as Artistic Director of Fantasia Orchestra.
