Irish Studies Events This Week
You are invited to join the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at three Irish Studies events this week. On Wednesday, October 12 at 4:00 PM John Gormley will deliver his final lecture as a Keough-Naughton Visiting Fellow “Will Climate Change Lead to Regional or Global Conflict?” in 424 Flanner Hall.
On Thursday, join us for an Institute Symposium on the Medieval Text Acallam Na Senórach featuring Peter McQuillan (University of Notre Dame), Joseph Nagy (University of California, Los Angeles), and Mícháel Ó Suillebháin (University of Limerick) at 4:00 PM in the Browning Cinema at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
Later that night, the The National Chamber Choir of Ireland will present a program featuring the North American premiere of Tarik O’Regan’s “Acallam na Senórach” commissioned by the University of Notre Dame. The NCCI is confidently forward looking while respecting tradition and known for memorable performances of exceptional musicality spanning the great baroque to contemporary composers.
