Singer Ronan Tynan to appear at St. Raymond's in East Rockaway

A benefit concert for St. Raymond School featuring beloved singer Ronan Tynan will be held on Saturday, April 24, at 2 p.m.

Tynan has performed for countless dignitaries worldwide including the wedding of New York’s former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to Judith Nathan on the grounds of Gracie Mansion. His voice also brightened the 80th birthday celebration of former President George H.W. Bush in the summer of 2004 in Houston.

Tynan was a member of the Irish Tenors until he left to pursue his solo career in May 2004.

In the spring of 2005, Ronan released his self-titled debut album. He debuted #2 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover Chart, just behind Josh Groban, and was the 8th best-selling classical crossover album of 2005. It also reached #2 on the World Album Chart and peaked at #9 on the Contemporary Christian Chart.
He has made appearances on Primetime Live, Good Morning America, the Hour of Power, 700 Club, Fox & Friends and many other high-profile television shows.
Ronan sang at the White House Governors' Ball at the invitation of President and Mrs. Bush in February, 2007, and in 2008 returned to the White House to sing at the St. Patrick's Day Reception attended by members of the U.S. and Irish governments.  He performed during the Concert of Hope prior to the Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium in April, 2008. 
Tynan is currently in the recording stages of two upcoming CD releases, one an all-Irish CD, and a second collection of songs performed at his concerts and requested by fans throughout the world.  In 2007 he released a DVD of his motivational speech: "Hitting the High Notes, Living Life to the Fullest."

St. Raymond's School is located at 263 Atlantic Ave. In East Rockaway. Some tickets are still available for the St. Raymond's concert. For more information, contact the school at (516) 593-9010.
