SARATOGA SPRINGS - The Irish Tenors will perform a benefit concert for the American Red Cross Adirondack Saratoga Chapter this summer at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

The Tenors will be backed by a full symphony orchestra consisting of musicians from the Local 506 of the American Federation of Musicians. In addition, there will be a "Meet and Greet" reception following the performance.

The Irish Tenors have produced seven best-selling albums while their appeal in the United States is second only to U2.

Since they first joined voices in 1998,the three-man group has made countless traditional treasures breathe with new life while remembering their heritage and saluting their Mother country. Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns, and Karl Scully are multi-talented and, for many, synonymous with Irish music.

Finbar has been described as funny, handsome, and sexy but has also been labeled as " Ireland 's Great Romantic Singer." Karl is the newest member of the Irish Tenors and is the young one who attracts the younger generation of ladies. But, according to him, it's the younger ladies' mothers and grandmothers who swoon. Anthony has been singing since the age of 10 and simply melts the hearts of women as the men cheer him on.

"We are simply ecstatic to have the Irish Tenors perform a benefit concert at SPAC" said Eileen Reardon, executive director of the American Red Cross Adirondack Saratoga Chapter. "The Irish Tenors are simply amazing and have garnered glowing reviews while performing in front of sold out audiences worldwide the last two years. We are looking forward to an enchanting and memorable evening."

Michele Riggi, the honorary chairperson for the concert, said, "Our goal is to net $100,000 to replenish our local chapter's disaster relief fund and so our local chapter can continue to provide invaluable life-saving skills and community training." She added there will be a private VIP 'Meet-n-Greet' with the group at Palazzo Riggi in addition to the reception immediately following the concert.

Prices for the concert as well as the 'Meet-n-Greet' receptions begin at $125 per person. There are additional 'Meet-n-Greet' packages that are available. Tickets are now available for these various opportunities only at the American Red Cross Adirondack Saratoga Chapter Office at 74 Warren St. in Glens Falls .
