SUMMARY:Donnacha Dennehy on “Grá Agus Bás: Love and Death”
DESCRIPTION:Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy will present a lecture entitled\, “Grá Agus Bás: Love and Death” on Friday\, December 7 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street.  The lecture is part of a series presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies.  The event is free and open to the public. \nDennehy is an internationally acclaimed Irish composer heralded as one of the best-known voices of his generation. Born in Dublin in 1970\, Dennehy completed undergraduate work at Trinity College in Dublin and pursued doctoral work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a Fulbright Scholarship.  In 1997\, he co-founded the Crash Ensemble\, a renowned contemporary music ensemble for which he serves as artistic director. Dennehy’s music has been featured in such festivals as the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival\, EXPO\, Bang On A Can in New York\, and ISCM World Music Days\, among others. Currently\, Dennehy regularly lectures in music composition at Trinity College and is visiting Princeton as a 2012-13 Global Scholar in the Department of Music. \nDennehy’s lecture is based on his landmark work Grá Agus Bás\, which translates as “Love and Death” and explores those same themes. Sean-nós\, a type of unaccompanied Irish vocal music\, inspired the title piece of Dennehy’s album. Released in May 2011 from Nonesuch Records\, Grá Agus Bás features a blend of modern minimalism\, traditional Irish\, and classical influences. The album received international acclaim\, with The Guardian calling the title composition “a piece of startling freshness.” \nPairing visits to Princeton with return visits to Ireland\, Dennehy will host Princeton colleagues and students at Trinity College and present a number of events in Ireland featuring the work of Princeton faculty and students. Princeton graduate students will write major works for the Crash Ensemble and will spend time working on the piece with Crash before it premieres. \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.”  Its mission is two-fold: to coordinate and expand existing courses taught by present members of the faculty\, and to offer a series of public lectures\, literary readings\, conferences\, exhibitions\, screenings and theatrical performances.

SUMMARY:Judith Hill on "Lady Gregory's Encounter with America"
DESCRIPTION:(Princeton\, NJ)  Irish historian and biographer Judith Hill will present a lecture entitled\, “Brickbats and Love: Lady Gregory’s Encounter with America on the Abbey Theatre Tour of 1911-12” on Friday\, November 9 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street.  The lecture is part of a series presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies.  The event is free and open to the public. \nBorn in London and educated at Girton College\, Cambridge\, Hill moved to Ireland in 1989 where she works as an architectural historian and biographer. Her books include The Building of Limerick (1991)\,Irish Public Sculpture: A History (1998)\, and In Search of Islands – A Life of Conor O’ Brien (2009).  She is a contributor to the Irish Arts Review\, The Irish Times\, and Times Literary Supplement. \nBased on her 2011 biography\, Lady Gregory: An Irish Life\, Hill’s lecture will explore the intersection of culture and craft that occurred when the Abbey Theatre of Dublin toured the United States during the 1911-12 season\, led by Lady Gregory\, a surprising\, yet defining\, figure of the Irish Literary Revival. Lady Augusta Gregory was founder of the Abbey Theatre; patron of W. B. Yeats; and a writer of plays\, essays\, stories\, and translations of Irish legends.  The Irish American News described Hill’s book as\, “A lively biography of this amazing person.” \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.”   Its mission is twofold: to coordinate and expand existing courses taught by present members of the faculty\, and to offer a series of public lectures\, literary readings\, conferences\, exhibitions\, screenings and theatrical performances.

SUMMARY:Pete Shirlow on "The End of Ulster Loyalism?"
DESCRIPTION:Irish scholar Pete Shirlow will present a lecture posing the question: “The End of Ulster Loyalism?” on Friday\, October 5 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street.  The lecture is part of a series presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies.  The event is free and open to the public. \nShirlow is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Law at Queen’s University in Belfast.  His latest book\, The End of Ulster Loyalism? was published earlier this year by Manchester University Press.  He is also the co-author of Belfast: Segregation\, Violence and the City (Pluto Press)\, Beyond the Wire (Pluto Press)\, Abandoning Historical Conflict (Manchester University Press)\, and author/co-author of over 70 book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles on conflict in Northern Ireland.  He is currently working on a major study funded by the National Institute of Health with colleagues at Notre Dame University on segregated communities in Belfast and the impact of previous and contemporary forms of sectarian violence. \nUlster loyalism is a political ideology that opposes a united Ireland.  Most loyalists support upholding Northern Ireland’s status as a constituent part of the United Kingdom. Peter Shirlow considers whether this world view may be less and less tenable. \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon\, provides Princeton students and the community at large a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.”
