In April 2006, Celtic Music Society traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, where we were one of four student groups to play at the 2006 National Music Student Leadership Conference. We also led a workshop on the teaching of folk music and, specifically, Irish traditional music in the American public schools.

The photo above was taken January 14, 2004, when Celtic Music Society was featured on WROC's Wake Up Rochester program. This was in the midst of 2004's brutal cold snap... When we arrived at school at 4:00 am, the air temperature was 8 degrees below zero, and the wind chill was nearly -25°. By the time everyone else had woken up, it had warmed up enough that we had a full day of school. Click the links below to see our segments.

 

We were honored to perform at the World Music Concert held in the Eastman School of Music's famed Kilbourn Hall in July of 2006. Tracks recorded live:

Our CD Color Blind was recorded and mastered in the fall of 2003 at Rochester's Dynamic Studios, and was released in December of that year. Click the links on the track listing below for sound samples, or visit www.myspace.com/ celticmusicsociety
