music association
Fáilte! Welcome!
Detroit Irish Music Association branch of CCÉ has been promoting and teaching traditional Irish music in the Detroit area for over 40 years through lessons, workshops, concerts, and social musical gatherings.
** BIG ANNOUNCEMENT **
January 8, 2025​
​
We're excited to announce that we have found a new home, beginning in February 2025!
Excited to announce that starting in February, we will have a new home for our Thursday night tunes, tea, lessons and more!
Beginning Feb 6th, we will be meeting at The Lodge at Grace Ann Arbor North, 3100 Glazier Way. Conveniently located right around the corner from our former home at Green Wood, this cozy new space will host our weekly gatherings and allow us to continue the same format at the same day and time -- Thursday evenings from 7-10pm.
​
We're incredibly thankful to all the folks at Green Wood FUMC for being a wonderful home for us for the past 10+ years, and wish the new owners of the building all the best! We'll finish out strong with four more gatherings at Green Wood starting tomorrow, 1/9 and a final farewell on 1/30!
Hope to see you all soon!

Sunday Sessions at the League
with Detroit Irish Radio
Another opportunity to make music with friends is at the Gaelic League Sunday sessions.
​
Kathleen O'Neill broadcasts the Detroit Irish Radio Show from the Gaelic League and loves when DIMA musicians come before the session at 2:30 pm to play some tunes live. After the radio show ends at 3 pm, the session begins and continues until 5pm.
​
The dates of the Sunday sessions vary each month, so look at the facebook feed to the right on this page to find the dates for this month.
