The Derravaragh Music Association

Programme 2025 - 2026

 

Welcome to the Derravaragh Music Association, known to our supporters as the DMA.

Established since 1987, we are dedicated to bringing the best of world class music to Westmeath and neighbouring counties. Our resident home is Tullynally Castle in Castlepollard and performances take place in the stunning Great Hall.

Since 1987, some of the world’s great and much-loved musicians have performed for us, including most frequently chamber music but also jazz, traditional and crossover works. Musicians love performing in DMA concerts for the welcome they receive and the warmth of the hospitality from our committee, audiences and of course our hosts the Pakenham family.

If you haven’t already experienced our concerts, do make a date to do so this year. If you are a regular attendee, we hope to see you over the coming season.

Our season runs from September to March inclusive and you will find the full programme of concerts for Autumn 2025 here. Booking is open for the all concerts and tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite either directly or using the link provided on the season’s programme page.  

Book Tickets

 

The Derravaragh Music Association wishes to acknowledge the support of Westmeath County Council with their grant towards the cost of the concerts of October and November 2025

The DMA Memory Book

In 2021, the DMA published a Memory Book, listing all concerts and music played since the first concert in 1987. The book has wonderful sketches from concerts at Tullynally drawn by the late Jeremy Williams. There are also several delightful short 'memories' from performers and audience members. Books are €10 each plus P&P at €3 per book and you can purchase them by contacting 
derravaraghmusicassociation@gmail.com.
If you have booked to attend a forthcoming concert, you can reserve books to collect saving you the cost of postage.  We are now operating our events as 'cashless' so we ask you email your order to derravaraghmusicassociation@gmail.com in advance and pay into the DMA account directly and you can collect your books at the concert.
