Spend an afternoon with The Celtic Tenors at the Rabobank Theater.

The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful Classical Crossover artists ever to have come out of Ireland. Signed on the spot to an international record deal in London in 2000, their first album went on to achieve double platinum status in their homeland, Number 1 in Ireland and Germany, Number 2 in the UK, and won them the "Echo Award" for ‘Best Classical Crossover Act’ in Germany. A full-length TV Special "Ein Grosser Irischer Abend" was broadcast to millions on German television, and then released as a coast-to-coast TV Special on PBS in the USA – "Celebrate with the Celtic Tenors". There swiftly followed a second album – "So Strong" – recorded at Abbey Road Studios, produced by the legendary Mike Moran, of Queen and Freddie Mercury fame. Their third album – "The Irish Album" – was recorded at home with those legends of Irish folk – The Dubliners. The Celtic Tenors have all had classical training, sung leading roles with top opera companies, performed in oratorio and concerts worldwide, and continue to show great flexibility in melding their voices to suit the appropriate Classical, folk, Irish and pop genres.

Also scheduled to appear as special guest soprano soloist is Deirdre Shannon.
