Description
Three Welsh Tenors, Aled Hall, Rhys Meirion, Alun Rhy-Jenkins, yet surprisingly different voices which complement each other perfectly. With their energetic, passionate and entertaining programme comprising of operatic classics, hymns, Welsh songs and medleys, they have something to appeal to all tastes which allows for their unique personalities to shine through.

All three are professional tenors, with solo careers in their own rights. Rhys Meirion has sung most of the leading romantic tenor roles whilst on principal contract at English National Opera and has also appeared with Frankfurt Opera, West Australia Opera, Opera Australia and the Hong Kong Festival. His duet album with Bryn Terfel "Benedictus" was nominated for a Classical Brit Award in 2006.

Aled Hall is a frequent performer for Welsh National Opera and has made over 150 appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, London in concerts and operas promoted by Raymond Gubbay. Further afield he has sung at Aix en Provence Festival, Wexford Festival, Tokyo, Salzburg and in Baden Baden.

Like Rhys Meirion, Alun Rhys-Jenkins' initial career was in teaching but after winning the Towyn Roberts Scholarship, he turned professional, joining Welsh National Opera in 2005. After singing numerous roles for the company he began a freelance career in 2009 and has since worked for Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Scottish Opera and ENO. He also made his European concert debut singing Carmina Burana with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carlo Rizzi.

Recent highlights include the BBC Proms in the Park from Swansea, a concert at Rhosygilwen Mansion in West Wales, performing the National Anthem before a Wales Football International at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea and concerts at Sherborne Abbey and the Aberdovey Festival. Upcoming plans include the opening concert at the National Eisteddfod of Wales and performances at the Milford Haven and Ludlow Festivals.
