Irish Tenor Emmet Cahill Performs Benefit Concert in Omaha

Principal vocalist for Celtic Thunder and a solo standout, Ireland’s most exciting young tenor Emmet Cahill is returning to Omaha this March as part of his North American tour to promote his new album, ‘Blessings of Music’.

“For ‘Blessings of Music’, I wanted to encompass the emotional connection that we all feel during a live musical experience,” explains Cahill. “This album is a representation of the many blessings that music has brought to my life, and also the lives of so many others.”

From the age of four, Cahill has been devoted to the world of music, going on to receive music scholarships, study a variety of instruments and receive formal classical training in opera at the prestigious Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. Along with being recognized with accolades like “Tenor of the Year” by the Irish Music Association and winning multiple classical competitions throughout Ireland, Cahill has served as the principal vocalist for the world-renowned Irish music show Celtic Thunder since 2011.

In 2015, the star singer added “solo artist” to his list of achievements and in 2017, Cahill recorded his No. 1 World Music Album ‘Emmet Cahill’s Ireland’, accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland. Released on the Sony Music USA label, it offers the best of the traditional Irish repertoire. He then went on to perform to a sold out crowd at Carnegie Hall in 2018, performed as a guest artist with symphonies in Tennessee, Florida and New York City and conquered a 75-city tour for Celtic Thunder X, the group’s 10th anniversary show.

In addition to performing selections from his albums, Cahill will also sing well-known Broadway standards, nostalgic favorites, beloved church hymns and operatic arias. And no Emmet Cahill concert is complete without the ever-popular “request medley” segment, which often brings surprises from the audience.

“I’ve always had a wonderful time visiting Omaha on my tours. I can’t wait to come back and see everyone again. The Conservatory has stunning acoustics, and we’ll create a special atmosphere on the night. I’ll also be asking the audience to sing along with me – so have those voices ready and warmed up!”

Cahill will perform in Omaha on March 22nd at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 - $45 and may be purchased online at www.emmetcahill.com/tour-dates/ or at the door. The Omaha Conservatory of Music is locaed at 7023 Cass Street in Omaha.
