Nicholas Phan

Tenor Nicholas Phan performs regularly with the world’s leading orchestras and opera companies. An avid recitalist and passionate advocate for art song and vocal chamber music, Phan co-founded Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago (CAIC), an organization devoted to promoting this underserved repertoire. Phan’s most recent album, Stranger: Works for Tenor by Nico Muhly, was nominated for the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance. His previous albums, Clairières and Gods and Monsters, were nominated for the same award in 2020 and 2017, and made him the first singer of Asian descent to be nominated in the history of the category, which has been awarded by the Recording Academy since 1959.
