The Dublin Harp Society was founded in the late 18th century with the goal of preserving and reviving the traditional Irish harp, an important symbol of Irish cultural heritage. Established in 1809, the society played a crucial role in encouraging the performance and teaching of the Irish harp, which had been in decline.

The society was instrumental in supporting harpists and organizing performances and competitions. It attracted both native Irish harpists and those interested in the instrument from other parts of Europe. The Dublin Harp Society’s efforts contributed to the preservation of traditional Irish music and helped ensure that the Irish harp remained a vital part of Ireland’s cultural identity.
