CRESTVIEW — Tenore, a trio of tenors, will present “Christmas with Tenore.”

The concert — presented by First Baptist, Woodlawn Baptist and New Beginnings churches — is set 6 p.m. Dec. 18 at First Baptist Church, 171 Hickory Ave. E, Crestview. It is free to attend but a love offering for performers will be received.

Tenore members are Mark David Williams, Crestview native David Wise and Carlos Santiago. The trio won the 2014 GMA Award for Seasonal Album of the Year and three 2011 Covenant Awards.

In 2013, Tenore joined producer-arranger team Kent Hooper and Phillip Keveren; the Prague National Symphony; several seasoned Nashville studio musicians; and Jill Ann Siemens, founder of world renowned, multi-platinum selling artists The Canadian Tenors, to create a debut album, "Sing! Presents Tenore," which won the Covenant Award for Traditional Album of the Year.

Their 2013 Christmas album, "Christmas with You," followed. The album featured Heather Headley, a Grammy award-winning Broadway star, and the Watoto Children's Choir.

The group has toured throughout the world including North America, Europe and Africa.
