    The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.

    €10

    Help ensure that the well of Irish music, song and dance is preserved for present and future generations.

    €20

    Donations of any level help ITMA digitise, preserve and offer free universal access to valuable materials that would otherwise be lost.

    €100

    The support of donors ensures ITMA can deliver an increasingly better service. Without private support, the transformative year we experienced in 2023 would not have been possible.

    €200

    Make your donation go further: a donation of €250 or more in any tax year is worth an additional 44.93% to ITMA. So for €50 more, ITMA can claim an additional €112.33 tax back from revenue.

    €250

    Irish-based donors can see their donations augmented by the State through the CHY3 form, which makes any donation above €250 worth €362.33 towards ITMA’s archival work, at no additional cost to you.

    €500

    ITMA is eligible for 501(c)3 donations, so for potential donors based in the USA, donating to ITMA can be a tax efficient way of making more and more archival material accessible to remote users.

    October 2024 Drawing from the Well concert wrap up

    Thursday 31 October 2024

    The sixth edition of ITMA’s Drawing from the Well concert series in partnership with the NCH was played in front of a sold out crowd.

    On Sunday, 6th October 2024, ITMA and the National Concert Hall presented the sixth edition of the Drawing from the Well concert series in front of a sold-out crowd.

    The audience was treated to a beautiful night of music, song and dance from Iarla Ó Lionáird, Mick, Louise and Michelle Mulcahy, Zoe Conway, Seán McKeon, Liam O’Brien, Síle Denvir, Stephanie Keane, Iarfhlaith Ó Domhnaill & Natalie Ní Chasaide, West Kerry band Cuas, Barry Kerr and Doireann Ní Ghlacáin.

    Throughout the night, the artists performed new interpretations of traditional music, song and dance based on archival materials and their engagement with the archive.

    ITMA would like to thank all artists for their contributions, NCH and ITMA staff for making the night run so smoothly and most importantly the audience for supporting the traditional arts.  The next edition of the Drawing from the Well concert series in partnership with the NCH will be held in May 2025. Tickets will be made available on itma.ie and nch.ie in the coming weeks.
