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!
