See The Irish Tenors in Concert with a full orchestra Sunday, March 3 at 3 p.m.!

The Irish Tenors have been touring together since 1998, with sold-out shows at
Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl,
and major concert halls throughout the world. Their faces and voices are familiar to
PBS audiences through several specials, including the “Ellis Island” recordings that
sold a million CDs and DVDs.

Since they first joined voices in 1998, The Irish Tenors have made countless
traditional treasures breathe with new life. Moreover, they’ve proven themselves
gifted interpreters of a wide range of material, with such songs as “My Heart Will Go
On” (from Titanic), “Fairytale Of New York”(previously recorded by Kirsty MacColl
and The Pogues) and even Jimmy Kennedy’s “South Of The Border (Down Mexico
Way)”. These songs live comfortably in their repertoire alongside “Danny Boy,”
“Whiskey in the Jar” and “Fields Of Athenry.” Among their best selling albums,
‘Heritage’ ranks as one of the finest with classic recordings of many of the most
beautiful Irish songs. ‘We Three Kings’ is their best selling Christmas Album and
includes all of superb Christmas gems that feature year after year in their legendary
Christmas Tour, attending which has become a firm tradition for so many families
who love their music and the special sparkle that marks their holiday program.

The Irish Tenors powerful vocal line-up of Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan and
Declan Kelly are unquestionably the leading brand of this genre. All classically
trained singers, each having performed in leading concert halls across the world,
together they combine to produce a sound and concert experience, which touches
hearts and stirs the emotions. Happy songs of celebration and humour, mixed with
touching melodies and songs that warm the heart.

They are surely versatile, but for many, Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan and Declan
Kelly are synonymous with Irish music. There is an aching bittersweet quality to
much of Ireland’s musical heritage, a melodic loveliness and emotional intensity that
brings a tingle to the spine and a tear to the eye. The dazzling technique and depth
of feeling that defines this musical genre, amplified to the third power, is the
hallmark of The Irish Tenors.

The magic they’ve captured on previous releases has resulted in millions of albums
sold and the upper reaches of Billboard’s music charts. The Irish Tenors have
appeared on several incredibly successful and highly rated PBS specials including
Ellis Island and Live from Belfast as well as The Today Show, Good Morning
America, Regis and Kelly, Martha Steward, A&E Breakfast with the Arts, and are
one of the best selling acts to appear on QVC.

The Irish Tenors continue to tour constantly, thrilling old fans and winning new ones
all around the globe. In the United States, they are one of the most successful Irish
touring acts ever, second only to U2. Whether as the powerful vocal trio in full
flight, or in their cameo solo spots, a concert performance by The Irish Tenors is an experience that never fails to excite and bear witness to the power of great music when performed
by true artists. Most concerts end with two, three, and sometimes four standing
ovations, with Irish and American songs bringing audiences to their feet.

Despite the ultimate compliment of there being several copy versions of The Irish
Tenors, this trio are regarded as the acknowledged Godfathers of Irish repertoire!
