Celtic Songs with Strings - Discover the Spirit of the Real Saint Patrick
Singer and composer from the West of Ireland and now proud resident of East Aurora, Owen Ó Súilleabháin presents an evening of traditional Irish songs accompanied by The East Aurora String Quartet, formed especially for the occasion. He will be joined by his brother Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, hailing from Ireland for this special performance due to the sold-out success of last year’s show. Owen first arranged this collection of songs for string quartet in collaboration with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and debuted at Kleinhans Music Hall in 2018. He has since recorded them for his forthcoming album, For Ireland I’ll Not Speak Her Name - Celtic Songs of Love and Loss.
“Western New York is lucky to have the Ó Súilleabháins as part of our community. Owen put on an incredibly moving performance last year, and I’d recommend this great Irish cultural experience to people of all ages and backgrounds,” said NYS Senator Sean Ryan.
This evening offers a unique opportunity to mark St. Patrick’s Day. Owen and his brother will share stories of the historical Saint Patrick, drawn from his own autobiography and the lessons from the saint’s life that we can apply today.
They will also speak to the themes and wisdom present in these Celtic songs, full of consolation and healing, which have been passed down for generations. The songs have a medicine in them that has helped to heal the heart of a people that had their heart broken many times, and yet never gave up.
This performance is produced in collaboration with The Roycroft Inn as part of their St. Patrick’s Week festivities. Patrons of the show can enjoy a 10% discount for dinner before the concert when you show your ticket.
