How can the classical music of the Highland pipe grow to be more lovable and discoverable? More vigorous and inclusive? More in tune with our times and heritage? Your imagination and experience are invited! Help us realize our vision:
A world in which pibroch features in mainstream education and performance, and is valued internationally for its positive contribution to cultural life and wellbeing.
Hosted by Barnaby Brown and Josh Dickson, with diverse guests contributing revolutionary sparks. Musical illustrations and roaming mic to provoke illumination and vitality where intimidation and inaccessibility reign.
