Choi Sung-hoon, countertenor of the crossover group La Poem, successfully concluded his sold-out encore performance of the solo recital 'Avec: The Baroque'.

The concert took place at 3 p.m. on the 8th and served as an encore stage for his first recital held at the Seoul Arts Center in July. On this stage, Choi showcased his deepened musicality and a diverse repertoire.

The program featured works by composers representing the Baroque era, including Handel, Vivaldi, and Gluck. Drawing on his clear tone and delicate emotional expression, Choi handled a wide range of pieces, demonstrating his capabilities as a countertenor.

Collaboration with Camerata Antiqua Seoul and Rich Musical Synergy

The collaboration with Camerata Antiqua Seoul drew particular attention at this concert. The joint performances included 'Ombra mai fu' from Handel's opera 'Serse' and 'Che farò senza Euridice' from Gluck's opera 'Orfeo ed Euridice'.

The performance of Camerata Antiqua Seoul, blending various instruments such as the recorder, Baroque oboe, bassoon, and Baroque trumpet, harmonized with Choi's voice to create rich musical synergy. For the encore, 'Edelweiss' and 'A Chloris' accompanied by organ performance followed, leaving a lasting impression.

"I Hope My Singing Remains in Someone's Heart for a Long Time"

After the concert, Choi said through his agency, Drama House Studio, "It was very meaningful to bring Baroque music back to the stage once again following the previous performance. I sincerely thank the members of Camerata Antiqua Seoul, who are always my reliable musical partners, as well as everyone who joined us behind the scenes."

He continued, "Above all, thanks to the audience's warm support, I was able to spend an especially memorable day. Like Baroque music, which has been loved from its era through today, I hope my singing will also remain in someone's heart for a long time."
