North Shore Celtic Ensemble

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble is a culturally diverse group of young musicians from the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia, Canada. The ensemble is directed by professional musicians, Claude Giguère and Jay Knutson, and using strings, percussion and wind instruments perform lively original compositions and arrangements of Celtic Orchestral based music.

The NSCE is an organization with a dual mandate; we provide our young member musicians the opportunity to work with professional directors and performers in an inspiring environment where musical talent can flourish and evolve. These skills are then applied to establish strong connections within our community such that we can contribute to and enhance community living.
