Clarecastle date for the Young Tenors

THE hallowed aisles of Ss Peter and Paul’s Church, Clarecastle will reverberate to the sound of music but it won’t be to the vocals of the local church choir but rather Ireland’s Young Tenors, which includes local man Dean Power.
Dean, one of the Young Tenors triumvirate, will be joined by Peter O’Donohue from Fanore and Ross Scanlon from Bray, County Wicklow, for the concert on Saturday, December 19. The musical director  for the evening is Mary Scarlett.
The three tenors came together in 2006 to form Ireland’s Young Tenors, for the Irish dancing show Rhythm of the Dance. With the show, they have performed in Portugal, France, Spain and Palestine as well as all over Ireland.
In 2008, they were asked to open the show for Rebecca Storm at the Storm by the Sea gala concert in Doonbeg. Such was the success of their performance that they were asked back for this year’s concert with Colm Wilkinson. 
The three young tenors met and became great friends in college. They have won multiple competitions and prizes individually and are busy working on their singing careers. The Clarecastle concert, promoted by the local GAA club, is a rare opportunity to hear them perform together, due to their many college and work commitments.
On the night, they will be joined by rising star soprano, Claudia Boyle. While each of the tenors has performed with Claudia individually, this will be her first performance with Ireland’s Young Tenors.
Claudia has amassed numerous trophies and awards including the Gervase Elwese award in the ESB Feis Ceoil, the Mary Brennan Bursary as well as international awards.
She has performed with the RTÉNSO, RTÉ NCO, Opera Ireland, Lyric Opera, Opera Theatre Company, Lough Crew opera and on television and radio.
Together, they will be performing songs from musicals, opera, Irish traditional and some Christmas carols that are sure to inspire some festive spirit.
