The Broadway Tenors to Perform Benefit Concert in Baltimore

David Lindauer of the Capital Gazette said of the Tenors, "Individually, each is a spectacular artist; together, they present an infinite and kaleidoscopic range of musical possibilities...The three talented tenors tantalized our sensibilities with beautifully rendered offerings from Broadway shows of the past century... There was such a comprehensive range of music that there was something for everyone."
