Who we are
One of the largest branches of Comhaltas
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is an international organization founded in Ireland in 1951 to preserve traditional Irish music and culture and to share it with people everywhere. Today it has over 400 branches worldwide.
Since its founding in 1975, Boston's branch has grown into one of the largest, with a membership of musicians, dancers, teachers and patrons dedicated to preserving the traditions of Ireland through its music, dance, language and culture.

Handing down the tradition
Our local branch is registered as a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation under General Laws Chapter 180, and is approved by the IRS as a qualified non-profit under IRC Sec. 501(c)(3).
Weekly instrument classes run through the CCÉ Boston Music School from September to May, and set & ceili dancing classes are held across the city. Our bi-monthly seisiúns bring the community together for music and dancing at the Canadian-American Hall in Watertown.
