The well-known Canadian Tenors will perform at the 1st annual Doors Open Niagara Benefit Concert on Friday, July 16 at Jackson-Triggs’ Niagara Estate Amphitheatre. Now in its 9th year, Doors Open Niagara showcases built heritage, architecture and design in the Binational Niagara Region, and is part of the international Doors Open/Open House program that began in France in 1984.

This benefit concert is a first for Doors Open Niagara program, thanks to funding from Celebrate Ontario and the support of our venue sponsors Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate Winery,” advised Arlene White, Executive Director of the Binational Economic and Tourism Alliance. “We are extremely fortunate to be working with these performers and the professionals at Jackson-Triggs to deliver this new component of the Doors Open program. Proceeds from this event will be used for new program development in 2010 and 2011, which will be the 10th anniversary of Doors Open Niagara and the preparatory year for the 1812 Bicentennial celebrations.”
