Siamsa na nGael

Now in its 26th year, Siamsa na nGael was created as a gift of Irish Culture to Chicago in celebration of Old St. Patrick's 150 anniversary by the legendary Mayor Richard and Mrs. Maggie Daley along with Patrick and Shirley Ryan.

​ Each year, this beloved tradition launches St. Patrick's week in Chicago and brings together capacity audiences of 2,500 guests to experience a unique blend of Celtic music, dance, and storytelling that highlights the contributions and history of the Irish people.

---

This year's theme will honor the life and legacy of St. Brigid, focusing on her inspiring faith, leadership, and enduring call for greater opportunities for women in leadership in the church and the world. Through spoken word, music, and dance, the program will celebrate St. Brigid and the women leaders of today sharing a message of hope, justice, and unity. 

​When: Monday, March 10, 2025, at 7:30 PM
Where: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Hall
Tickets: $30–$60, available starting February 3, 2025, via CSO Box Office
