A HOME. A CENTRE. A GLOBAL VOICE

The World Centre for Irish Harping

A permanent home for a living tradition.

Building a Centre for Irish Harping in Dublin to inspire, nurture and share our music with the world.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The harp is Ireland’s national emblem and a living voice at the heart of our culture.

Its music unites communities, tells our stories and connects us to the world.

The World Centre will be a dedicated cultural home for Irish harping.

VOICES IN SUPPORT

Respected voices from across Ireland and the world recognise the cultural importance of the harp and the need for a dedicated national home for Irish harping.

The harp is at the heart of who we are. It’s in our history, our songs and in our souls. It deserves a home that will carry its sound into the future.

The harp is a symbol of our nation and a living tradition that continues to enrich our culture at home and around the world. A dedicated home for it is long overdue.
