ChoralFest: Nicholas Scott with Kelvin Lim

Join celebrated British tenor Nicholas Scott for a luminous evening of Arie Antiche — an evocative recital of Baroque songs from the great European courts. With eloquent piano accompaniment by Kelvin Lim, Scott brings to life the golden age of vocal music with works by Michel Lambert, Henry Purcell, and Giovanni Paisiello.

Woven through this intimate programme are the sounds of 17th- and 18th-century salons and chapels: French elegance, Italian flair, and English melancholy. Each piece tells a story of love, longing, and royal splendour — composed by masters who served courts and kings with music of refined beauty and dramatic poise.

This is a rare opportunity to hear timeless gems by the great court composers, brought to life by a distinguished artist who is not only a specialist in this unique repertoire but also one of its most passionate champions.
