O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat

The O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat was named after Jim O’Flaherty who moved to North Texas from Ireland bringing with him a musical tradition which he nurtured by hosting sessions and potluck dinners in his home. This gathering of musicians grew into a handful of bands and Irish music began to grow in North Texas. After Jim’s passing in 2001, the O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat was formed as a tribute to his work and over time became a cultural focus that drew interested musicians from all over the area, the country and the world.

Once a year, the retreat brings three days of classes, sessions, concerts, and dances facilitated by a core group of area-wide volunteers and staff and attracting internationally respected musicians from within the Irish music tradition to perform and teach.
