TENOR ANTHONY KEARNS TO BE INCLUDED IN TELEVISION SPECIAL ABOUT
THE 2010 NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY PARADE TO AIR
ON SAT., JUNE 5TH AT 12:00 P.M. ET

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tenor Anthony Kearns, who sang Amazing Grace during the May 31st
National Moment of Remembrance in Washington, D.C., will be a part of a television special
about the parade on Sat., June 5th at 12 noon ET. The television special will air on Channel 7
(WJLA-ABC) in the Washington, D.C. area from 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET.
The half-hour program will include highlights of the 2010 National Memorial Day Parade,
including Mr. Kearns’ performance. It will be rebroadcast on News Channel 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Mr. Kearns sang Amazing Grace a cappella after the Memorial Day Parade came to a complete
halt to remember America’s fallen. Kearns said he was there "to remember and honor those we
have lost and to remember those who are, right now, fighting for freedom." Kearns also honored
America’s military with Amazing Grace on “Fox & Friends” on Sun., May 30, and during a
moving choral tribute at the Kennedy Center.
Mr. Kearns took the American television audience by storm in 1999 as the youngest member of
the wildly popular musical group, The Irish Tenors. American critics hailed Kearns as perhaps
the best equipped of the three (Irish Tenors) to “achieve the level of tenor super stardom now
enjoyed by Pavarotti and a handful of other singers.”
Mr. Kearns is a respected ambassador of Ireland to the world and has presented the music of his
homeland across the globe. As a soloist, his performances draw from a wide variety of opera,
folk music, and international favorites.
