On Sunday, April 29, at 7:00
p.m. Dunwoody United Methodist Church welcomes Irish tenor, Emmet Cahill.
An award-winning Irish tenor and a principal vocalist with the renowned Irish
music show Celtic Thunder, Cahill’s concert benefits The Summit CounselingCenter at Dunwoody UMC.
Proceeds are designated to
serve youth in the Dunwoody community. According the National Institute of
Mental Health, 1 in 5 children ages 13-18 have or will have a serious mental
illness. Additionally, 50% of all lifetime cases begin by age 14, but on
average there’s a delay of 8-10 years between the onset of symptoms and appropriate
intervention. The goal of the Emmet Cahill concert is to enhance mental health
care resources for youth in the Dunwoody community and provide early
intervention.
Cahill is promoting his album
“Emmet Cahill’s Ireland” which went to number one on the Amazon, iTunes and
Billboard World Music chart. Cahill offers his interpretation of the best of
the traditional Irish repertoire, including “Danny Boy”, “When Irish Eyes Are
Smiling”, “An Irish Lullaby”, “My Cavan Girl” and “The Parting Glass.”
The Dunwoody UMC Chancel Choir, directed by Rev. Sonny Walden, and the Dunwoody
UMC Youth Choir, led by Mark Lamback, will join Cahill for multiple songs.
General admission tickets are
$30 and may be purchased online at www.emmetcahill.com/tour-dates or at the door. A limited number of Meet & Greet tickets, which
include a pre-concert meeting with Emmet plus the concert, are available for
$45.
