Caledon September 23, 2010

Caledon’s repertoire is drawn from a rich and diverse selection of Scottish songs from the Borders to the Hebrides: Famous Burns orchestrated poems, including My Love is like a Red, Red Rose, classic ballads such as Loch Lomond and traditional songs such as Robert Tannahill's The Braes o' Balquhidder, which dates to the 18th century. But before you think, "Oh, those old Scots songs - I have heard them a thousand times" - pause awhile and listen to these three tenors. Together, their individual tenor quality and pitch, blended in perfect harmony, creates a totally distinctive vocal performance. The three classically trained opera singers are Alan Beck, Ivan Sharpe and Jamie MacDougall. Each has pursued successful independent careers, appearing on the international opera stage and concert halls over the past 15 years.
