Celtic traditional
Rooted in centuries of storytelling, melody, and migration, Celtic Traditional celebrates the enduring legacy of Irish, Scottish, and Breton music as it took root across Canada—especially in the Maritimes, Newfoundland, and Cape Breton. Featuring reels, jigs, airs, and ballads passed down through generations, this room honours the fiddlers, pipers, singers, and dancers who keep the tradition alive. Whether played by kitchen fire or concert stage, these tunes carry history, heart, and the soul of Celtic Canada.
