What's New With The International Tenors!
August 26/10 - my only excuse for not providing more reliable updates is, our house is incredibly hectic and it's been an extremely busy time! A lot has gone on since the last update. We would like to welcome Ryan Allen, another very talented young tenor, to The International Tenors roster. He will be covering a few of the dates that Michael Toby would not be able to do because of his ministerial commitments. We are all very much looking forward to the upcoming 2010/2011 season. We start by showcasing in Indianapolis on September 15 and 16, and then we are heading to Concordia Kansas for our show on September 19 at a beautiful, turn-of-the-century building called "The Brown Grand Theater"... an absolutely stunning room and we are very much looking forward to performing there. Mitch is continuing to work with an agency in China, for a possible show in Hong Kong just before Christmas. What an incredible trip that would be! We hope that materializes, but if not it's okay as we have a full touring year ahead of us, thanks to everyone at East Coast Entertainment. I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and I promise I will be more frequent with my updates from now on.
February 27/10
- well, as last entry
noted once again it has been a while since I've done an update. Things
have been very busy! Mitch prepared video to run in the elevators at the APAP
conference in
New York
in January, and so begins the branding of the International Tenors. Also
in January we were invited to
Chesapeake
Virginia
To be involved
with the Chesapeake Hospital Gala. It was a pure pleasure to perform for
everyone there. More dates have come in for us which you can see in the
upcoming shows section. We are looking forward to going to
Wisconsin
,
Texas
and
California
.
Mitch also continues to deal with agencies in Asia and
Australia
to try to get the
tenors shows in those markets. But we feel it would be a huge success
over there also. The other big news is the birth of Mitch's son (Grayden
Mitchell ) at the end of January… Mitch and Nicole's household is an
extremely busy one now and the tenors won't be doing another gig until
April to give time for their house to adjust!
November 9/09 - it has been a while since I've
done an update here! Lots of things have happened this fall. At the end
of September we went to Norfolk
Virginia to perform 2 showcase
sets at The Performing Arts Exchange Conference for East Coast
Entertainment. We had a good turnout and met quite a few people.
Hopefully the buyers that were there enjoyed what they saw and will be
booking us in the 2010-2011 season. It was really nice to see and then be
able to perform for everyone from the East Coast head office.
In October we did a show at the Ashmore theater in Pensacola Florida.
It was outstanding! The reaction from the audience was amazing and
everyone treated us so well ... thanks so much to Rhoda for taking care
of us and we hope to see you again (you can see a letter from Rhoda for
the event in testimonials in the multimedia section soon).
We then went from Pensacola down to Fort Lauderdale to
do a showcase and a couple of shows for Stu Moss. The showcase went
incredibly well and we hope that the many buyers we met liked what they
saw... so we can spend more time down in Florida!
The first full show was at Valencia
Lakes where we got
the privilege of opening their brand-new facility... it's extremely
beautiful and we had a great performance. It was nice to meet and talk
with everyone afterward.
Our next show was at The Grove... once again, great people and an
incredible response! All three of us enjoy working in Florida as it really seems to be
filled with our kind of people ... keep the gigs coming Stu!
August 2/09 - we are now up on twitter! You can follow us there at
" theintertenors " ... hope to see you there.
August 2/09 - well... it has been a long time since I have updated
what's new with the tenors... there is so much new going on, it's very
exciting... and incredibly busy! The video has been shot - thanks so much
to Finian films from Hamilton.
We shot at Hamilton Place
in the footage is outstanding. Mitch was incredibly busy over the last
month and a bit editing this promo video for the show. The new video is
done, and is making quite a splash. People really seem to like it! It is
up and running on our multimedia page and is approximately 6 minutes
long. If you haven't already please have a look! A high resolution
version is also posted on YouTube and the link is

showcase in Norfolk Virginia later in the week. These are
posted on our show dates page.
May 23/09 - today Mitch is heading off to a meeting with Hamilton Place
to see if there studio venue will make a good space to shoot the new
video.
May 14/09 - Mitch is back after a very long day in Richmond Virginia.
And the good news is that The International Tenors are now signed
exclusively with East Coast Entertainment for all corporate and
performing arts centers throughout the United States! It's very
exciting! He was very impressed with the professionalism and personalism
of the company... he said he was made to feel right at home, and Lee
Moore spent the entire day with him. It was great to meet and talk with
John Wolfslayer, to discuss the possibility of corporate work... maybe we
will finally get to Washington!
Then Mitch met with the touring division, had a great meeting and some of
the finer details of the tenors on tour were ironed out. We are really looking
forward to the next few seasons with East Coast. They have also offered
to invest in a new promo video for the group. So Mitch has his work cut
out for him over the next few months, as the tenors head back into the
recording studio , and shoot new video ! Stay tuned to the multimedia
section as Mitch will have it up as soon as it is done .
