Welcome to the website of
Tenor Brendan-Keefe Au
"Au is of slight and slender build, but carries himself with an air of confidence. Add a boyish smile and gentle personality, the likeability factor comes across winningly. In a well-conceived programme of 18 songs inspired by the garden, nature and love, he impressed with a mastery of nuances and shades in four languages."
