DESTINO
As
the last stop on their Canadian/US 2009 tour, Ft. Walton Beach audiences will
get an up-close chance to hear the Canadian sensation whose exclusive
performance engagement at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics hurled them into the
international spotlight.
Classically trained, these three
award-winning professional tenors are fast becoming Canada’s crossover
sensation.
Their music – a blend of pop,
opera, gospel, soul, R&B, jazz, and musical theatre – is best described as “pop
with an opera romance flair – popera.”
The three tenors and back up
musicians have been heard at fundraising concerts for such international
non-profits as Children’s Miracle Network and World Vision.
Don’t miss this opportunity to
hear them live – here in Ft. Walton Beach.
