This year the Pipers' Gathering is fortunate to have yet another anonymous donor who will match up to $2000 to bring a noted instructor from "over the pond" to our event in August 2025. This year we are focusing on a Scottish smallpiper. Donations for this initiative can be made via the website donation function--please note in your submission that it is to be dedicated to the matching grant for 2025.
We are a community of musicians dedicated to alternate bagpipes. Our Gatherings are assemblies of musicians with many types of smallpipes and associated traditional instruments.
