Music Lecture Demonstration by Irish Pianist and Composer Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin

As one of Ireland’s best-known musicians, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin has released more than 10 CDs of his own compositions and arrangements performed by the Irish Chamber Orchestra under his direction. As a pianist, he is widely acknowledged as having originated a unique Irish piano style out of an Irish traditional base. Ó Súilleabháin is professor of music at the University of Limerick, where he founded the Irish World Music Centre.

“Ó Súilleabháin … played not just variations on an Irish theme, but explored it inside-out, upside-down, backside-foremost, up hill and down dale … with bells on and brio.”
—The Herald (Glasgow)

Please join us for this hour-long look "under the hood" with Visiting Artist Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin at 4 p.m. on April 24 in Buckley Recital Hall, Arms Music Building at Amherst College.
