Overview

The Carolan Celebration
Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Chair of Music and Founder/Director ofthe Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the Universityof Limerick, is noted for his development of a uniquely Irishtraditional piano style.

Mícheál makes a much-anticipated Wigmore Hall debut with thefirst performance of a new series of suites for solo piano, editedfrom the eighteenth century Irish harp music of Turlough O’Carolan.The music of this nomadic blind traditional harper, known simplyas Carolan to his Anglo-Irish patrons, represents a sonicencodement of a rapidly changing Ireland.
