Feis Tir An Eorna
Art & Culture
We would like to continue to provide quality tuition in traditional music and sports for local children to maintain our island culture.
About this cause
Feis Tir an Eorna is a local charity which offers professional tuition in a wide range of musical instruments, art, drama, shinty and traditional sports. We offer a week long Feis each summer and winter evening classes for children aged 8-18. Classes is given in Gaelic and we aim to provide high quality tuition for children to preserve local music traditions and encourage the use of the Gaelic language. We also offer a Feis Bheag which is open to younger children aged 4-7 to introduce them these traditions as early as possible.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We have run for over 26 years and has helped many local children develop a life long love for traditional music. Some children now come back and are the tutors for the next generation of musicians. This helps maintain the longstanding music traditions on the islands and brings the local community together to encourage their children to take part and enjoy the performances they provide.
