Kearns, The Irish Tenors to Perform during Peace Award Ceremony for Tony Blair, 9/13

Anthony Kearns, and his two colleagues from the popular touring group, The Irish Tenors, will perform during the 2010 Liberty Medal Ceremony in Philadelphia, PA honoring former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Mon., Sept. 13, 2010, it was announced.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will recognize Blair for his outstanding work in bringing peace to fruition in Northern Ireland and as a special envoy in the Middle East peace process.

"It's an honor to be a part of this ceremony which lauds Mr. Blair's efforts to achieve the noble goal of peace in Northern Ireland and the Middle East," said Kearns, the group's founding member.

The Irish Tenors became a world-wide sensation in 1999 as Ireland's most famous touring musicians, second only to the rock band, U2. Kearns, Finbar Wright and Ronan Tynan, who reunited this August for a special tour, will perform during the live, televised program on the ABC Network. (Check local listings).

Mr. Kearns, the group's anchor tenor, is increasingly in demand as a solo artist. He performs concerts with piano accompaniment in a recital format, as a guest soloist with some of the world's finest symphony orchestras, and on opera stages in Europe and America.

Kearns begins his North American fall solo tour with his internationally-acclaimed accompanist, Patrick Healy, on Sept. 16. For more information, visit http://anthonykearns.net/tourdates.html
