David and his colleagues will make their debut in St. Michael’s Church next month
Tenorí is a new Three Tenors Group, compromising of three of Ireland’s finest young tenors, Gavan Ring, Patrick Hyland, and David Lynn.
Ballina man David – son of Hugh and Lily Lynn – returns to his hometown for a concert in St. Michael’s Church on 13th June, where the television show ‘Other Voices’ was filmed in 2018.
Wishing to evoke the memories of ‘Italia 90’ with a distinctly Irish feel, Tenorí aim to charm their audiences with a blend of Italian opera, Irish song, and old favourites.
Their show in St Michaels Church, Ballina on 13th June, will be the inaugural concert of what is hoped to be a fruitful collaboration between the three friends.
With interesting and successful careers in their own right, David, a proud Mayoman, has been working this season with English Touring Opera, singing Malcolm in Macbeth, covering the roles of Macduff and Leicester in Rossini’s Elizabeth 1, for which he had a few hours notice to jump in recently, earning him rave reviews. Lynn is a former NI Opera Young Artist, Garsington Opera Alvarez Artist, and a recent graduate from the the Alexander Gibson Opera School. He has worked with Wexford Festival Opera, Opera North, Scottish Opera, Opera Theatre Company, Lyric Opera. He is working with Scottish Opera this summer on Breaking the Waves, a new piece for the Edinburgh International Festival, and will travel to Brisbane and New York with the production in 2020.
Kerryman Gavan Ring has just moved from being Ireland’s foremost baritone to the heady heights of tenor, and quite a splash he’s making. Ring has performed with Glyndebourne, Welsh National Opera, Opera North, Garsington Opera, and Opera Holland Park. Upcoming tenor roles for Ring include his tenor debut with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra for RTÉ Lyric FM’s 20th Anniversary Concert, the role of Frederic in Pirates of Penzance for Cork Opera House, and the leading tenor role of Azim in Stanford’s Veiled Prophet and Juan in Massanet’s Don Quichotte for Wexford Festival Opera.
Patrick Hyland, from Kildare, is a multi award winning tenor with two albums to his name, and has been a finalist in the Veronica Dunne Singing Competition. Hyland has performed with Glyndebourne Festival, Wexford Festival, OTC, Lyric Opera, and has an upcoming lunchtime concert with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on August 13th.
Tenorí on 13th June in Ballina will be accompanied by Paul McKenzie, a repetiteur of some repute, and he will perform on Steinway grand piano, specially acquired for the St. Michael’s Church concert.
