Much in demand as an ensemble singer, Nathan has performed across Europe with Solomon’s Knot, le Concert d’Astrée, Sestina, Siglo de Oro, Opus Anglicanum, the London Choral Sinfonia, and the Armonico Consort. As a member of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace he is honoured to have sung at many events of international importance, including most recently the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the Coronation of Their Majesties the King and Queen.
This season includes a return to the London Handel Festival and the Thüringer Bachwochen with Solomon’s Knot in a programme of Handel, Bach, and Scarlatti, David in Handel’s Saul with the Hertford Choral Society and Manvinder Rattan, a recording of the Dublin version of Handel’s Messiah with the IBO and Peter Whelan, as well as developing two new operas, to be presented in the 2024/25 season.
Equally accomplished as a musicologist, Nathan holds a PhD in music from Royal Holloway, University of London. He researches topics in the analysis and philosophy of music; his chapter ‘To Be in Time: Repetition, Temporality, and the Musical Work’ is forthcoming in a volume by OUP. He supervises a number of historical and analytical topics at Cambridge University, and appears as a guest lecturer at the Royal Academy of Music.
