Darryl, James and Matthew Deliver a Fresh & Innovative Twist to a Classic Genre
The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland. In 2000, following an impromptu audition at EMI in London, the Celtic Tenors were signed on the spot to an international record deal, a highly unusual event that was the talk of the music industry.
With a total album sales worldwide, including compilations of over 1 million, a successful PBS special, and a full international touring schedule, the Celtic Tenors have topped the charts in the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK and Ireland.
Thursday December 3rd- 8:00 PM - $78, $48, $38, $28
While each of The Celtic Tenors have been influenced by the musical traditions from their own individual parts of Ireland, Daryl, James and Matthew show great flexibility in melding their voices to suit the appropriate classical, folk, Irish and pop genres.
The group has sung leading roles with top opera companies and performed in oratorio and concerts across they continue to appear on television programs across the U.S., Canada and Europe and even produced their own German TV Special “Ein Grosser Irischer Abend,” broadcast to millions across the globe.
Now globally recognized, Daryl, James and Matthew have sung for world leaders and appeared in concert with such names as Dionne Warwick, Air Supply and The Chieftains, headlined Irish and Celtic Festivals in Europe and the USA and performed with orchestras including the BBC Concert Orchestra, The National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.
Recorded in the Hollywood Hills, the Tenors new album, due for release in December, is a collection of rich, harmony-driven songs from North America, by songwriters including Stephen Foster and Bob Dylan.
The Tenors continue to re-invent the tenor idiom by pioneering a new style of “cool,” never before seen on the classical stage. Their live performance breaks the stuffy mould, an experience overflowing with vitality and variety from start to finish. The unique voices, charm and wit of Daryl, James and Matthew, combined with talented young Musical Director Colm Henry, create an emotive journey with a thoroughly uplifting experience.
Equally at home performing to large festival crowds or intimate concert halls, whether backed by a live band, symphony orchestra, solo piano, or even acapella, their voices and personalities always shine alongside an undeniable and contagious Celtic charm.
