The Texas Tenors are the most successful music group and third- highest selling artist in the history of NBC’s “America's Got Talent!” Their PBS special, “You Should Dream,” won three Emmy Awards. Their second special, “Rise,” premiered in September 2017 and was released in conjunction with their studio album of the same name, which peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Classical charts and No. 22 overall. This album was followed by "A Collection of Broadway and American Classics," which debuted in August 2018 at No.1 on the Billboard Classical Chart. The Tenors new album, “Outside The Lines,” comes out this May. Tickets to the virtual, live streamed April 11, 2021 performance are $50 per household. For tickets, visit www.AttheMAC.org.
The Texas Tenors appearance at the MAC is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the State of Illinois and the Crane Group.
