Join the Celtic Tenors for an unforgettable performance of vocal brilliance and festive cheer. Their enchanting blend of Celtic charm, timeless favourites, and modern hits is paired with a heartwarming selection of Christmas classics. This special holiday concert promises a mesmerizing celebration of Celtic culture and the joyous spirit of Christmas, leaving audiences uplifted and inspired.

The Celtic Tenors will give you a night to remember. Whether performing in neighbourhood cathedrals or world-renowned concert halls from New York to Amsterdam to Shanghai, every performance sparkles with professionalism, warmth, and good humour.

With more than a million CDs sold worldwide, they’ve built a reputation for excellence and authenticity while never losing the fun that makes them beloved by fans everywhere. Their concerts feel less like formal recitals and more like high-wire acts of charm—equal parts vocal muscle, backstage banter, and the kind of intimacy that usually belongs in a living room singalong.

Their Canadian tour begins November 27 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey, BC, and end December 17 at Orillia Opera House.

Each performance blends the best of Celtic tradition with exhilarating classics, powerful a cappella moments, and popular contemporary songs. The Celtic Tenors’ charm and charisma ensure that audiences leave with hearts soaring and spirits renewed. Think of it as a jukebox of cultures, where centuries-old ballads sit comfortably next to sly reinventions of pop standards, all carried on a wave of harmonies that can swell to cinematic grandeur or collapse into a wink and a grin.

Founding member Matthew Gilsenan, from Kells, County Meath, Ireland, has long been admired for his powerful, emotive voice and captivating stage presence. His ability to connect with audiences makes every performance deeply personal. “For me, every concert is about making a connection—sharing a song and a story, and leaving the world a little brighter,” says Matthew.

Daryl Simpson BEM, from Omagh, Northern Ireland, adds both artistry and versatility. A trained operatic tenor, Daryl has performed with leading orchestras and remains dedicated to community through his work with the Omagh Community Youth Choir. Awarded the British Empire Medal for peace and community relations, he brings heart as well as voice to the trio. “Music has the power to heal, unite, and inspire—on stage and far beyond,” says Daryl.

George Hutton, from Derry, Northern Ireland, is the newest member of the group, bringing fresh energy and a rich musical background that includes touring with Anúna, performing with Hozier, and collaborating with Phil Coulter. With his humour, humility, and genuine love for singing, George adds new dimension to the Celtic Tenors’ already unforgettable sound. “If there’s one thing I can’t do without on tour, it’s a good cup of tea!” he shares with a smile.

Together, Matthew, Daryl, and George deliver more than a performance—they create an evening to savour. The Celtic Tenors embody a rare balance of skill and personality, offering three unique solo voices that, when called upon, blend into one soaring Tenor Sound. What makes them different isn’t just the technical brilliance—it’s the sense that they’re letting you in on the joke, the story, the heartache, and the triumph all at once.

With their polished international reputation, The Celtic Tenors remain rooted in joy and authenticity. Their performances highlight why they continue to be one of Ireland’s most successful crossover acts: world-class artistry paired with a down-to-earth love for sharing music.

Celebrate the season with The Celtic Tenors as they bring their acclaimed sound to Canada this holiday. From Celtic ballads and festive favourites to contemporary hits, their 2025 tour promises nights of music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
