Preservation & promotion of traditional IRISH music

Ceol na
nAingeal

CREATING FELLOWSHIP
FOR ALL LOVERS OF
IRISH MUSIC

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is a cultural movement concerned with the promotion and preservation of the music, dance and language of Ireland.  Ceol na nAingeal (music of the angels) is the Los Angeles branch of this international non-profit organization.
Cultural traditions should be an enriching part of the lives of Irish people everywhere, particularly our young people; they should be a living, highly visible and vibrant part of society; they should be easily accessible to all; and their unique social, cultural and economic benefits should be fully realised by communities and individuals throughout the country and in Irish communities abroad. - Comhaltas Mission Statement

LESSONS

We offer regular weekly classes in a variety of traditional instruments, Irish language, singing
and dance. We offer instrument rentals if you are just starting out, and are interested in learning a unique rare instruments such as the Concertina, Uilleann Pipes, Bodhrán, Accordion,  Fiddle, Tin Whistle, or Harp.

Lessons

SESSIONS

Regular music sessions, sometimes graded at a “slow” or “moderate” pace for learners, can be a great way to hear the music in the social context it was designed for. In addition to being a lot of fun, playing in sessions will improve your ear dramatically, even without you being aware of it!

Sessions

EVENTS

Passing on the tradition of Irish culture is what we do!  Whether you’re interested in learning traditional music, honing your skills, or immersing yourself in the culture,  we maintain a full schedule of entertaining and educational events.  We also provide lectures, exhibitions, workshops and concerts.

Events

FLEADH

Comhaltas runs a number of annual festivals called Fleadh Cheoil — literally “Festival (or feast) of Music.” Up to 12,000 performers participate, and 250,000 people attend the Fleadh.  While competition is an important element of the Fleadh, the festival is a multi-faceted shop window for Irish culture.
