Welcome to the Siamsa Montreal School of Irish Music

Siamsa (pronounced “shee-am-sa”) is Irish for 'pleasant musical diversion'

We offer weekly group classes in traditional Irish music. You can join us for a night of traditional dance during our ceilis, which are held during the fall, winter, and spring. We also play music at informal jam sessions all year round!

Students' Class Recital 

 

For the recital, we will use a session "in a circle" format rather than a front-of-room performance. Classes should sit together. Each teacher will indicate how their class will perform their musical pieces and whether they will invite others to join in.

Class presentations from our students will be followed by a musical session at the end of the evening.

Please bring food to share in a potluck at the break!
