Chamber Orchestra Concert: Les Violons du Roy

The exhibition features books printed in Ireland from the early twentieth century to this past decade, showing the development of Irish book art over the century. A recurring theme, particularly in early publications, is the influence of early Irish art forms in the various design and decorative elements of the books. The selection of fonts, illustrations, and decorative styles were carefully considered by the printers and publishers, and this small variety of books demonstrates various aspects of the art of printing and book design practiced in Ireland. The facsimile Book of Kells is on display, as this and other illuminated manuscripts are a touchstone of sorts for book art in Ireland, particularly at the time of the Irish Literary Revival and the Irish Language Revival. Publishing houses featured in the exhibit include the Dun Emer Press and Cuala Press, Colm Ó Lochlainn’s Sign of the Three Candles Press, Liam Miller’s Dolmen Press, and the contemporary Stoney Road Press and Salvage Press. While the books in this exhibit cover a range of subjects from industry to ornithology, most are literary works, and a number of the books are editions of texts from Gaelic literature, including Thomas Kinsella’s translation of Táin Bó Cuailgne (The Tain), illustrated by Louis le Brocquy. The selection exhibited represents only part of the very extensive collection of important Irish printing presses held by the Hesburgh Libraries.

By José Casas and Sandra Fenichel AsherTwo neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens but much more divides them from one another. One neighbor grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the United States; the other, in Mexico. One speaks English; the other; Spanish. Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, the other is certain of rain. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement — until the resulting mariposa/butterfly and its eventual departure unites them in wonder, sadness, and with a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.Dos vecinos viven lado a lado en Tejas. Una cerca divide sus jardines, pero ahí aun mas que los divide a el uno de el otro. Un vecino planta flores; mientras el otro planta vegetales. Uno nació en los estados unidos; el otro en México. Uno habla Ingles; el otro Español. Sus diferencias los han mantenido tan separados, que si uno predice un día soleado, el otro esta seguro de que va a llover. Hasta la llegada de un capullo produce desacuerdos — hasta que la mariposa que sale de el capullo termina yéndose y esta despedida los une en asombro, tristeza, y en un nuevo entendimiento de la belleza de el mundo que comparten. Best for ages 3+. 60 minutes, no intermission.   GET TICKETS
