The Ten Tenors
NEW WILMINGTON — The Australian vocal group The Ten Tenors returns to the United States in December for an 18-date tour of the East Coast and Midwest, including Westminster College’s Celebrity Series.
The group will present “Home for the Holidays” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11 in the college’s Orr Auditorium.
With a selection of traditional and contemporary favorites, The Ten Tenors will perform repertoire from their album “Our Christmas Wish,” which went to the upper reaches of Billboard’s Classical Albums chart. The release raises funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Selections will include traditional standards such as “Joy to the World” and “O Holy Night,” as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” “Feliz Navidad” by José Feliciano, Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” and “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” the Mariah Carey hit.
Now enjoying their 20th year together, The Ten Tenors blend rock, pop and opera. More than 90 million people worldwide have attended their live performances, and they have shared stages with Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Andrea Boccelli, Willie Nelson, Alanis Morissette and Christina Aguilera.
Other upcoming shows in Westminster’s Celebrity Series include “The McCartney Years” at 7:30 p.m. April 28 and, for kids, “How I Became a Pirate” at 6:30 p.m. May 14.
