The Celtic Tenors
Tickets: €20
The most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland, the Celtic Tenors repertoire includes classical, folk, Irish and pop classics.
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.
The Celtic Tenors continue to re-invent the whole tenor idiom by pioneering a new style of cool never before seen on the classical stage and by breaking the traditional stuffy tenor mould. This album was recorded by a grammy award winning team in the Hollywood Hills. Hard Times moves from the mould of traditional tenor album to recording the works of great North American songwriters from Stephen Foster to Bob Dylan.
Hard Times has just been released in the US with Compass Records, and in the UK and Ireland with Wrasse. The album is also available on line at www.celtictenors.com.
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 Echo Award in Germany for Classical without Boundaries was presented to The Celtic Tenors in recognition of this fact.
With a total album sales worldwide, including compilations, of over one million, and a full international touring schedule, the Celtic Tenors have topped the charts in the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK and Ireland.
