In 2002, The Ten Tenors leapt to international
attention as the surprise guest artists at the Eurovision Grand
Prix de la Chanson held in Kiel, Germany
The press hailed the Tenors' clever and virtuosic medley of the
finalists' songs as the highlight of the evening
Extensive tours quickly sold out as word spread that an exciting
new musical force had arrived from "Down Under"
However, what appeared to be an overnight success was the result
of years of touring the weird and wonderful venues of Australian
outback towns
It was there that the group's obvious camaraderie developed and
their unparalleled fusion of artistry, musicianship and comedy
was born
The ensemble formed in 1995 while the tenors were university students,
studying for careers in opera
The Ten Tenors created and performed their first full-length show
in 1998, while still full time students, and were undertaking
an intensive touring schedule in Australia before the completion
of that academic year
The Ten Tenors have been a committed musical tour de force ever
since
Heroically striding through the classical tenor repertoire, swaying
through the ballads of the Neapolitan crooners, and highlighting
their youth with critically acclaimed performances of rock classics,
The Ten Tenors and their unmistakable Australian charm have captured
the hearts of countless fans worldwide
