CELEBRATED counter-tenor Nicholas Clapton will give a concert in Malvern on Saturday, July 9.
Mr Clapton, who was brought up locally, is performing for Malvern-based charity ARCOS.
ARCOS helps people who have communication or swallowing difficulties, whether from cerebral palsy, stroke or head injury.
Mr Clapton made his professional debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1984. Since then, he has pursued a wide-ranging career in opera, oratorio and recital, performing around the world.
He is known for his performances of contemporary music and has given 17 world premieres but is also at home in the heroic castrato repertoire of the 18th Century, having played the great Farinelli on stage on several occasions. He is a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, and has given master classes in the UK and Europe.
His first book, The Last Castrato, a biography of Alessandro Moreschi, was published last November.
Saturday's concert is at 7pm at St Edmund's Hall, College Road. Tickets (£12) are available from ARCOS, Whitbourne Lodge, Church Street.
