Have Pipes-Will Travel!
The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts of Canada has been actively promoting and preserving Celtic culture and heritage by offering instruction in traditional Celtic disciplines since 1990.
 The College programs provide a unique opportunity for personal growth and serve as a training ground for aspiring performers. College faculty, students and guest artists collaborate to produce an atmosphere that is representative of a vibrant Celtic culture. Over 70% of Prince Edward Island's population trace their ancestry to Scotland and Ireland. World-class facilities and instruction, as well as an excellent entertainment track record, position the College of Piping as a leader in Celtic festival and event promotion.
The College of Piping has many possibilities for entertainment ranging from a solo piper to our full cast of "Ceilidh on the Road", and anything in between. Our Ceilidh (pronounced 'kay-lee', a Gaelic word for a social gathering with music, dancing and storytelling) includes components such as bagpiping, fiddling, step dancing, Highland dancing, drumming, Celtic songs and local stories. Performances include any combination of elements and may run any length of time, but are generally about 90 minutes long.
Our pipers have 'piped-in' many head table guests, piped many a bride up the aisle of a church and played at many other happy occasions. Some of our pipers have performed on national and international stages and have performed for politicians and royalty alike.
The grace of our dancers, both Highland and step, will have you entertained and delighted as they perform the traditional and contemporary dances of the Celtic heritage.
The College of Piping Pipe Band has performed in many parades, national and international competitions and other social functions. The Pipe Band consists of students, faculty and staff of the College.
The cost, depending on what your are looking for, can range from $150 to $3,000 or more.
