LOUISBURG, N.C.—On Thursday, March 13 at 7:30pm, The Celtic Tenors will bring their sophisticated sound to the JPAC at Louisburg College.
With a polished international reputation and just over a million album sales under their belts, The Celtic Tenors offer something truly unique: they combine the skill, range, and ability of world-class tenors with the personality and fun of genuine performers.
Matthew Gilsenan, James Nelson, and Daryl Simpson have performed together as The Celtic Tenors for over twelve years, and they offer more than beautiful voices and musical knowledge. Comfortable in all genres from classical and folk to Irish and pop, they bring the audience on a real musical voyage. The Celtic Tenors have broken new ground by stepping away from their classical roots, and adding a more contemporary edge. With this pioneering approach, they’ve welcomed a wider audience and fostered a fresh and invigorating style which has won them both critical acclaim and many fans the world over.
This concert event will take place in the Frances Boyette Dickson Auditorium in Louisburg College’s Seby B. Jones Performing Arts Center (JPAC). Tickets are available by calling the Louisburg College Box Office at (919) 497-3300 or toll-free at 1 (866) 773-6354.
