The Tenors, Andy Cooney, Christopher Macchio, and Daniel Rodriguez are known for their strong faith and philanthropic activities that foster goodwill and community engagement.
“I invited the New York Tenors to the Diocese of Wilmington because they embody the joy, faith, and friendship that unite us as a community,” said Sheila O’Hagan McGirl, Secretary for Development and Director of the Office of Development for the Diocese of Wilmington, who has known the tenors for decades. “They’re not only gifted artists but men of deep faith who use their music to lift hearts and bring people together. This concert is a celebration of faith, friendship, and generosity, all in support of Catholic Charities, whose mission to serve those most in need is more vital than ever.”
Audiences of all ages can count on their vocal artistry and versatility to deliver a memorable program of timeless Christmas melodies, as well as classical arias, inspirational hymns, contemporary pop, and patriotic songs, all performed with an operatic elegance so perfect for this festive season.
“The concert was a wonderful experience and very entertaining,” said Patricia Klous, of Claymont, who attended the concert two years ago. “A mix of great music and a few stories. Andy Cooney is a favorite and did not disappoint.”
