Comhaltas Ceoltori Eireann (CCE) was founded in 1951 in Ireland by a group of traditional musicians at a time when interest in the native culture of Ireland was waning.
Since its inception, Comhaltas has grown to become a great force in Irish cultural life. The aims and objectives of Comhaltas include the promotion of traditional music, song and dance, and the fostering of Irish traditional culture in general, with special emphasis on the Irish language.Today, Comhaltas is an international movement with more than 350 branches in Ireland, Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. The aims of Comhaltas are achieved through the activities of these branches.
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is the largest group involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music. We’re a non-profit cultural movement with hundreds of local branches around the world, and as you can read in our history we’ve been working for the cause of Irish music since the middle of the last century (1951 to be precise). Our efforts continue with increasing zeal as the movement launches itself into the 21st century.
