Irish Session for Young Musicians
The Upstate Irish Arts Center is excited to host the area's only Irish Session for Young Musicians (school age through college)! You can find the location of our next monthly session on our Facebook page. We are currently on break until the fall - but if we can, we'll put togethert some summer pop-ups!
There are a number of traditional Irish Sessions and other folk sessions around the upstate area in and around Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Rensselaer Counties. Check out some of the ones we know of here. You can find more session listings at https://www.thesession.org/ and on various social media pages.
To be listed here, please email us.
