2025 DONATION CHALLENGE INSTRUCTOR:
IAN KINNEAR, Scottish Smallpiper
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. 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.
Thanks to those who have contributed so far, we are on the way!
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.
