UNESCO status for Irish harping

Uncategorised · 12th December 2019

We are delighted to announce that Irish harping has just been inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Bravo to Harp Ireland and the Dept of Foreign Affairs who did the foot work and congratulations to all the Irish harpists and Irish harping organisations over the last number of decades who have worked to nurture Irish harping. And let’s particularly hear it for all you early Irish harpists who fly the flag for Ireland’s ancient harp!
