The grand finale of St Matthew’s Concert Series features two artists flying in from the UK for a SOIREE MUSICALE: Lyric Coloratura Soprano Caroline Kay-Mouat and her versatile accompanist Colin Hunt.

Let yourself be enchanted by Caroline’s extraordinary voice as she delivers a programme of delicious French Song. Caroline studied at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Conservatoire Nationale Superieur de Lyons. She made her stage debut at The Chatelet in Paris, moved to England to study with Laura Sarti at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and took further studies at the Welsh College of Music and Drama where she also lectured in French Song. She divides her time between teaching, translating (French Song) and performing.
