Christmas At The Cathedral 2022

With a career spanning over 25 years Peter has performed in six of the seven continents (still to do Antartica!). His singing style is flexible and has seen him perform everything from opera to traditional, from swing to musical theatre.

He has recorded twelve albums and presented radio and tv for the BBC.

Peter is also the Artistic Director of the Belfast School of Performing Arts. He is a director and producer and is very happy to continue staging a Christmas production in Northern Ireland.

Over 20 years together, The Celtic Tenors are marking their Belfast Cathedral debut as special guests of this year’s Christmas at the Cathedral. Music will include seasonal favourites and of course snippets from their impressive back catalogue.

The Celtic Tenors are delighted to be back doing what they do best – bringing some musical magic in their charming way.

The only tenor group with a truly global audience…whether playing a neighbourhood cathedral or major concert halls in international cities like Sydney, New York, or Shanghai. 

They genuinely love what they do and you’ll see that shine through.
