Celebrity Series presents The New York Tenors
Will W. Orr Auditorium

Experience the Memorable Music, Moments and Magic of New York as the vocal artistry of Andy Cooney, Daniel Rodriguez and Christopher Macchi take audiences on a truly entertaining journey through the Greatest City in the World - New York, New York!

Andy Cooney christened by the New York Times as “Irish America’s Favorite Son”, has taken the Irish-American music scene by storm for the last 20 years. Andy’s unique tenor voice has been heard in concert halls internationally, including Dublin’s National Concert Hall to sold-out performances in New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall.

Daniel Rodriguez first captured the attention of Americans everywhere during some of the darkest moments in our nation’s history. He was the New York City police officer whose amazing voice soothed our grief in the days following September 11th.

Christopher Macchio, a classically trained tenor from the Manhattan School of Music, this NY native has been wowing audiences by combing his golden-era sound with an engaging stage presence. He has performed to sold-out theaters and events in the U.S. and Europe.
