The singers, whose voices generate \u201cpure electricity and undeniable drama\u201d according to The Los Angeles Times, will perform repertoire from their album Our Christmas Wish, which went to the upper reaches of Billboard\u2019s Classical Albums chart. Partnering with St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital, record sales have already raised more than $1 million for the nonprofit organization that is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.<\/p>\n

Selections from Our Christmas Wish include traditional standards such as \u201cJoy to the World\u201d and \u201cO Holy Night,\u201d as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono\u2019s \u201cHappy Xmas (War Is Over),\u201d \u201cFeliz Navidad\u201d by Jos\u00e9 Feliciano, Irving Berlin\u2019s \u201cWhite Christmas,\u201d and \u201cAll I Want For Christmas Is You,\u201d the Maria Carey hit.<\/p>\n

Now enjoying their 20th year together, The Ten Tenors playfully blend rock, pop, and opera, and are \u201ctruly incandescent when performing at the full strength of 10,\u201d according to Variety. The New York Times says their \u201cunique mix of the traditional and unconventional offers a fresh and highly original take on the staid traditions of opera.\u201d The group has appeared on The Today Show, Oprah\u2019s Australian Adventure, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, among others. More than 90 million people worldwide have attended their live performances, and they have shared stages with Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Andrea Boccelli, Willie Nelson, Alanis Morissette, and Christina Aguilera.<\/p>\n
