Ten Tenors from Australia to perform December 13 at Joplin High School Performing Arts Center

(From Connect2Culture)

The TEN Tenors from Australia will travel all the way to Joplin for its “Home for the Holidays” concert on Thursday, December 13, 2018, 7:30 p.m. at Joplin High School Performing Arts Center (2104 Indiana Ave, Joplin, MO 64804).

This will be the third of five performances that make up Connect2Culture’s 2018-2019 Curtains Up Series.

The TEN Tenors are undoubtedly one of Australia’s greatest entertainment success stories, with more than 90 million people worldwide embracing their unmistakable charm, camaraderie, and vocal power.


Following 20 years of sellout performances across the globe, including more than 2,500 of their own headline concerts, The TEN Tenors have cemented their place as Australia’s premier classical-crossover group.

The TEN Tenors’ “Home for the Holidays” concert will include a generous mix of festive favorites and modern holidays hits. The TEN Tenors will walk you through a musical winter wonderland that truly captures the essence of the Holidays for the whole family, as well as many of the rock and classical songs that have made this group world famous. There's nowhere in the world The TEN Tenors would rather be performing this show than in the USA, during the holiday season.

The TEN Tenors have toured the USA almost every year since 2004, sharing so many wonderful experiences along the way.

“No one does the Holiday’s like America does the holidays, it is a seriously fantastic time to be on tour, we love it!” says Tenor and Touring Musical Director (TMD) Michael Edwards. “American audiences are among the best in the world for showing appreciation and also music knowledge. Couple that with the Holiday spirit and you get the perfect storm for a really great show where the audience is just as important to the performance.”

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the inception of The TEN Tenors. An amazing achievement for a group which started with a bunch of university mates wanting to earn extra pocket money while they were perfecting their craft at opera school. Back then none of them imagined that the group would still be touring the world 23 years down the track.

Originally inspired by the three tenors, the group has developed its own style and although it might occasionally throw in a song that the three tenors would have done, it is no longer the group's staple fare.

These days the tenors in the group need to be great singers and great dancers capable of singing Arias, Pop songs and big Rock classics equally well.

Of course, the presentation of today's shows has come a long way since those university days, but the core values remain the same with laid back Aussie bloke charm and an undeniable sense of good fun the cornerstone of the group’s continued success.
