Need the perfect entertainment to kick off the Valentine's Weekend? The Diana Wortham Theatre has you covered.Destino is fast becoming Canada`s classical crossover sensation following the recent Canadian release of their critically acclaimed CD FORTE, the return from an exclusive performance engagement at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and some of Canada's renowned summer music festivals. Classically trained, award winning professional tenors Paul Ouellette, Joey Niceforo and Hans Munoz form Destino. Before collaborating as a trio, the three Canadian vocalists were in established solo careers, performing pop, opera, gospel, soul, R&B, jazz and musical theatre. Destino has received critical acclaim, selling out concert halls in Canada and the U.S. Their music is best described as 'popera' or 'pop with an opera flair,' that is sweeping musical charts thanks to internationally renowned recording artists like Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Mario Frangoulis, Russell Watson, and many others. Following their debut concert in Vancouver in July 2006, Shoreline Records signed Destino to their label and S.L Feldman Associates, Canada's largest talent agency was retained as their booking agent. In 2009 The Towle Group took on the role of management. In July 2008, Destino released its debut commercial CD FORTE, a collection of classical and contemporary music which includes "Show Me The Way Back To Your Heart", composed and recommended for Destino by Grammy award winning song writer Diane Warren. In the fall of 2007, the group released Christmas with Destino, featuring a collection of the member's best- loved Christmas repertoire. Destino has toured across Canada and the U.S. and performed at a number of private engagements including The Children's Miracle Network fundraising concerts in Orlando and Las Vegas. The group has been affiliated with a number of non profit charities including Kids Help Phone, World Vision and the ALS society. For tickets and more information, please visit www.dwtheatre.com.
