The 24th Annual Pipes of Christmas

We're back… we hope! The Pipes of Christmas is working hard to ensure we have a joyous 24th year, and we’re very excited to be back to live performances in 2022.

But the challenges of COVID over the last two years have put a massive strain on our ability to continue producing the event. To put it simply, we need your help.

Hosting the Pipes of Christmas each year is a massive undertaking that includes significant upfront production costs, including:

Unfortunately, in 2020 and 2021, we had to cancel one performance entirely and severely limited the number of tickets we could sell to the remaining concerts. While completely necessary, these setbacks resulted in a significant financial loss of the funds we need to bring the Pipes of Christmas back in 2022.

Would you please consider making a gift of any size to make the Pipes of Christmas happen this year? As our way of saying thanks, all donors will receive first access to ticket sales this year. Donations of over $100 will also receive access to an exclusive Pipes of Christmas EP featuring seven never-before-released tracks from our 2020 and 2021 concerts, including material recorded on location in Scotland.

All gifts made in the US are entirely tax deductible and help to ensure that this iconic Christmas tradition continues for many years to come. Thank you for your generous support!

About the Pipes of Christmas:

The first Pipes of Christmas concert was held in 1999, and since that date, the event has grown considerably with a larger company and extended performance runs. In addition, the producers have frequently commissioned new music for bagpipe, clarsach (Scottish harp) and other instruments. Traditionally, part of the program is conducted in Gaelic. The concert proceeds have helped fund our extensive outreach and charitable programs.

Our reach is extensive; from "Tartan Day on Ellis Island" to Scotland's Royal National (Gaelic) Mod to programs offered at the Gaelic College in Nova Scotia to Glasgow's National Piping Centre and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The list is long.

The concert features the music of Christmas in a decidedly Celtic flair, with pipes and drums, harp and fiddle, cello and guitar and more! Best of all, it's not just a live concert - we have annually streamed concert highlights worldwide on Christmas Eve and Day free of charge.
