Presenting Series: "An Evening of Irish Singing": Gearóidín Bhreathnach

When: Friday, September 12, at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Patricia George Decio Theatre

Take a Football Friday to embark on an hour-long cultural journey through the haunting and poetic art of sean-nós, or "old style," singing with County Donegal's own Gearóidín Bhreathnach. Known for her profound interpretation of traditional Irish song, Bhreathnach offers an evening rich with storytelling, linguistic beauty, and emotional depth. Sung in Irish language, these unaccompanied melodies connect listeners to a centuries-old tradition of oral expression.

You don't have to be of Irish descent or know Gaelic to appreciate this music. You only need to be curious about global music traditions and accept this concert as an invitation to experience a rarely heard art form in its most authentic voice. Bhreathnach's intimate performance style transcends language, delivering meaning through tone, gesture, and heart, making it a must for anyone who appreciates folk music and generational cultural inheritance.
