From the bold sounds of the pipes and drums, and the harmonious blending of brass, strings and percussion, to the poetic and lyrical words that complement them, all filling the beautiful Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, The Pipes Of Christmas is a festival for the soul. The concert features the music of Christmas accompanied by a selection of readings taken from the Celtic literature of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
Proceeds benefit music scholarships established with leading Celtic arts programs at universities and colleges in the US, Canada and Scotland.
Featured performers include Andrew Weir from the film Braveheart, Scottish Country Dance trio Local Hero (Paul Woodiel/fiddle, Christopher Layer/uilleann pipes and Susie Petrov/keyboard), the Solid Brass ensemble, Gaelic Mod Champion harpist Jennifer Port and the Kevin Ray Blandford Memorial Pipe Band of Redlands, CA.
The Pipes Of Christmas is made possible through the generous support of OBAN Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the Grand Summit Hotel, Walkers Shortbread, the Hat Tavern and Rodney Strong Wines.
