Join us for a multi-media performance/presentation by Ian Lynch, musician, singer, songwriter, and founding member of the award-winning Irish band Lankum. Ian is also an acclaimed practitioner and scholar of Irish traditional music. In this, his first appearance at Notre Dame, he will sing live while exploring the ballad tradition in Ireland, Britain, and their diasporas. Of the 305 ballads included in Francis James Child's seminal 19th-century publication, The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, versions of around 50 have been identified in the Irish tradition. This multi-media presentation will serve as an introduction to the fascinating subject of the so-called "Child Ballad" in Ireland. Ian will investigate the ways in which these ballads made their way into Ireland from the 18th century onwards to become embedded in Irish traditional culture, as well as the changes that they underwent in the process. A free but ticketed event. RESERVE TICKETS HERETo request tickets for classes or groups (more than 8), please email Mary Hendriksen at mhendrik@nd.edu.  LEARN MORE: In February 2021, Faculty Fellow Barry McCrea held a wide-ranging conversation with Ian Lynch about his music and growing up in "Generation X."

Join us for the inaugural lecture in the Institute's new "Yeats at Notre Dame" initiative. James Flannery is professor emeritus at Emory University. He is also a producer, stage director, singer, scholar, and critic specializing in the dramatic work of W.B. Yeats. In 1988 he founded the W.B. Yeats Foundation in order to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of Yeats’s work as a poet, dramatist and cultural activist.William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is widely considered to be one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century. In 1923, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Yeats visited Notre Dame twice — in 1904 and 1933. In the inaugural Yeats Lecture, Professor Flannery will discuss how Yeats sought to foster modes of expression that would inspire people to live “more intense and abundant lives.” For that to occur, he believed, the arts must function in concert with one another and not as rivals, as occurs too often in both academic and artistic institutions.
