Program Information
"Songs about the places we long to find and the people who make them feel like home."
Every great song is about somewhere else. Somewhere over the rainbow. Somewhere a place for us. Somewhere just past the edge of the life we're actually living.
Emmet Cahill joins your orchestra for a night of the songs that made those places real. A Limited Edition event built around one of the most beloved guest artists ever to appear on this stage, Somewhere brings the Irish singer back to Florida with a program drawn from the emotional heart of Broadway and the screen. A principal singer with Celtic Thunder for nearly a decade, with six World #1 albums and two sold-out solo concerts at Carnegie Hall behind him, Cahill has a rare gift for making a large hall feel like a small room — and SCSO audiences have loved him for it since the first time he walked out here.
These are songs of longing, hope, belonging, and arrival: Before and After You, One Second and a Million Miles, the Soliloquy from Carousel, Edelweiss, Some Enchanted Evening, Music of the Night, This Is the Moment, Out There from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Starlight Express, and Go the Distance from Hercules — before the evening arrives where it has been headed all along, with Over the Rainbow and Somewhere.
With Aaron and the full orchestra around him, Somewhere moves between quiet confession and cinematic sweep — songs about the places we long to find and the people who make them feel like home. It is a concert about distance, desire, memory, and the moment a song carries you somewhere you have never been, or somewhere you have been waiting your whole life to return.
Inside the Music
Some concerts are built around a composer, a season, or a single story. Somewhere: Emmet Cahill Sings Hollywood and Broadway is built around a feeling—the pull toward something just beyond us.
The person we miss. The home we carry. The dream we refuse to give up. The moment when distance finally closes. The songs on this program come from different eras and imagined worlds, yet they share a common human desire: to belong somewhere, to be understood by someone, and to believe that the life we are reaching for may still be waiting ahead.
After our frequent collaborations with Emmet Cahill, he returns to the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra for a program drawn from the emotional heart of Hollywood and Broadway. Known around the world for his radiant voice, commanding stage presence, and years as a principal singer with Celtic Thunder, Cahill has become a familiar favorite with SCSO audiences. He possesses a rare ability to make a large concert hall feel personal, bringing both grandeur and intimacy to every song he sings.
His Irish roots are part of that connection. Irish musical tradition has long understood how joy and melancholy can exist within the same melody—how celebration can carry memory, and how even the brightest song may contain a trace of longing. Cahill brings that instinctive understanding of storytelling to a repertoire that reaches far beyond one country or tradition.
The working shape of the program moves through songs such as Before and After You and One Second and a Million Miles, where love is measured in distance, choice, and time. Soliloquy from Carousel turns inward, giving voice to hopes that have not yet found their future. Edelweiss carries the tenderness of home and remembrance, while Some Enchanted Evening and Music of the Night invite us toward love, mystery, and the possibility of another world.
Other selections reach toward transformation and arrival. This Is the Moment captures the instant when possibility becomes action. Out There from The Hunchback of Notre Dame gives voice to the desire to be seen and to find a place in the world. Starlight Express suggests movement, wonder, and the dream of traveling somewhere new. And in Go the Distance from Hercules, the longing is direct and universal: the belief that somewhere beyond the horizon is a place where we will finally become who we were meant to be.
Cahill joins Aaron and the SCSO in a concert that moves between intimate confession and cinematic sweep. The orchestra does more than accompany these songs; it expands their emotional world, surrounding each story with color, scale, and possibility.
Together, these selections create more than a collection of Hollywood and Broadway favorites. They form a journey through distance, desire, memory, hope, and belonging—a musical search for the place, the person, or the moment we have been waiting all our lives to find.
Somewhere is about the places we long to reach.
And the people who make them feel like home.

A native of Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland, Cahill began his musical studies at an early age, attending high school on a music scholarship before continuing his education at the prestigious Royal Irish Academy of Music, where he earned a degree in Music Performance.
His exceptional talent was recognized early through numerous honors, including The John McCormack Bursary for Ireland’s Most Promising Young Tenor, recognition as the Royal Irish Academy of Music’s Most Promising Young Singer, and multiple awards at Ireland’s National Feis Ceoil competition. These accomplishments brought him to the attention of producer Sharon Browne and led to his joining the internationally acclaimed Celtic Thunder in 2011, where he quickly became one of the ensemble’s most beloved principal vocalists.
In addition to his success with Celtic Thunder, Cahill has established a distinguished solo career, performing in more than 80 cities across the United States and Canada. His sold-out solo debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall drew widespread acclaim and helped solidify his reputation as one of the leading voices of his generation. In 2017, he signed with Sony Music and released his debut solo album, Emmet Cahill’s Ireland, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard World Music Chart, as well as the Amazon and iTunes World Music charts.
Known for his ability to blend classical technique with emotional storytelling, Cahill’s performances span beloved Irish standards such as Danny Boy, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, and My Wild Irish Rose, alongside Broadway favorites including Bring Him Home and The Music of the Night, as well as timeless classics like Moon River and Some Enchanted Evening. His interpretations of traditional Irish repertoire have often drawn comparisons to legendary Irish tenor John McCormack.
Cahill has appeared at many of North America’s most prestigious venues and events, including performances with the world-renowned Tabernacle Choir, appearances at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, the Pentagon, Atlanta Symphony Hall, and national television broadcasts including The Today Show. Whether performing with symphony orchestras, in concert halls, churches, or theaters, he continues to win audiences with a voice of remarkable warmth, power, and authenticity.
