Westminster College's Celebrity Series to Host "Christmas with the Tenors"

Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2014

Westminster College's Celebrity Series will present Christmas with The Tenors, Tuesday, December 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium. The concert is sponsored by Giant Eagle.

"Our phones rang off the hook after the Tenors came to town last November for the Celebrity Series," shares Connie McGinnis, director of the Celebrity Series. "There was a resounding ‘bring them back!' and so here we are, proudly welcoming them to campus, once again."

Band members Victor Micallef, Clifton Murray, Remigio Pereira, and Fraser Walters will present songs from their new hit album, "Lead with Your Heart," as well as Christmas melodies to sing along to.  The Tenors will showcase some of the season's most popular songs including "Ava Maria," "What Child Is This," "O Holy Night," and more from their holiday album, "The Perfect Gift."

In their short career, they have performed on The Oprah Winfrey Show (with Celine Dion), for Her Majesty The Queen during her Diamond Jubilee at Windsor Castle, the live broadcast of the 2011 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, at the opening ceremonies of Vancouver's 2010 Olympics and for the NBA, MLB, and NHL All-Star Games. They have rubbed shoulders with presidents and prime ministers, princesses and even shared a private tea with HM The Queen. They have shared the stage with Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young, Paul Anka, Justin Bieber, Paul McCartney, Brian McKnight, David Foster, and Natalie Cole among others, in venues from Bangkok to London, and New York to Israel. They have been hailed as musical ambassadors and Canada's national treasure.

Tickets, ranging from $35-$55, are available by calling the Celebrity Series box office at (724) 946-7354.  Additional information on this and all of the season's shows is available at www.westminster.edu/celebrity.
