The historical and sonic allure of Melaka's centuries-old buildings, particularly its churches, provides endless inspiration for Cassel Krishnan, a music educator and fervent supporter of classical music.

Since 2018, the co-founder/director of Melaka Classics, with collaborators in KL and abroad, has organised over 15 classical events at Melaka's Christ Church, an 18th-century Dutch-built Anglican church.
