The Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series, in partnership with UWF's Music Hall Artist Series, presents ‘A Stór Mo Chroí, O’ Love of my Heart,’ an evening of Irish song and poetry with Irish brothers Mícheál & Owen Ó Súilleabháin, March 9, 2023.

The Ó Súilleabháin brothers perform a repertoire of song and poetry that has been handed down to them from their family and wider Irish tradition. Their background in musicology, philosophy and wider academia gives their excellent musicianship a deep yet light-hearted insight. They are also brilliant entertainers, practicing hilarity as well as a deep reverence for the ground of tradition and innovation they inhabit. They have performed with Russell Crowe, The Chieftains, Sinead O Connor and Nigel Kennedy, to name a few. This concert will include a capella song, their own original songs and poetry. There is something for everyone at this special performance, the first by the brothers Ó Súilleabháin in Pensacola.

The event will be held at Old Christ Church, 405 S Adams St, Pensacola, from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
Directly following the event, a public reception will be held at the Museum of Commerce, 201 Zaragoza St, Pensacola.
Both the event and reception are free and open to the public. However, space is limited and tickets are required. Tickets can be secured at Eventbrite.com.
