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!

The regular Saturday Slow Session planned for May 18 will be outside in the open air in NDG instead of the pub.
Specifically, we will be at the home of a musical family who has graciously accepted to host musicians on their front lawn.

Bring your musical instruments and something to sit on, and take part in the music.

 

May 18th - 2pm (arrive any time after 1:30pm)
Event is rescheduled to the 20th is case of rain

3495 Westmore Ave, Montréal
 

 

 

The community celebration offers performances of a wide array of live music on balconies, front lawns, and stoops. Different performances are planned throughout Notre-Dame-de-Grace.

Money raised during Porchfest NDG 2024 will help Women on the Rise, a nonprofit organization based in NDG that offers programs and services to women and their families: https://www.porchfestndg.com/our-cause.html
