Irish traditional music blended with some blend of funk, jazz, and other contemporary sounds, laced with stirring harmonies and a driving rhythm section.
Celtic Music Society is a unique program comprised of student musicians from East Rochester Senior and Junior High Schools in East Rochester, New York. Founded in the fall of 2001, this group of young musicians performs the traditional music of Ireland in authentic traditional and contemporary styles. In our first seven years, we have performed more than 150 times, released three albums, hosted seven workshops by All-Ireland Champion musicians, and shared the stage with some of the top Irish musicians from our region and the world, including two concerts each by Irish supergroups Lúnasa, Gráda, and Teada. Director Mark Gowman and students in Celtic Music Society frequently present workshops to students, teachers, and college music education majors, and have presented several at the Eastman School of Music and the New York State School Music Association's annual conference. Celtic Music Society was one of only four student ensembles from the United States invited to perform at the National Music Student Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City, where we also presented a workshop for more than 100 teachers at the corresponding Music Educators National Conference.
Hi there Celtic Music Society first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
