Congratulations to Jayne on winning the Northeast Regional 15 & Under Fiddle Championship!

 

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, and are instructed through traditional pedagogy. This year, we present our 200th performance and release our first live album, which will feature favorites from the past decade. To this point, we have 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 three concerts by Irish supergroup Lúnasa, and two each by 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. more

"Their enthusiasm and sheer enjoyment of making music is a delight to experience." Kevin Crawford, Lunasa

"Congratulations to you and all your kids, they were fabulous.  Please tell them I said so... you guys are really unique!"  Bob Phillips, Alfred Publishing Clinician and Author of String Explorer String Method, Fiddlers Philharmonic, Fiddlers Philharmonic Encore!, and Jazz Philharmonic
