This will take place in Toronto hosted by the RCCO – Toronto Centre and the OHS.

A Festival of Pipes: Building Bridges - Forging Friendships encompasses all the best feelings and experiences of festivals past. You know what we mean: the late-night banter, the meeting of old friends, getting to know new colleagues, the festive feeling of a shared recital experience, and the joy of learning something new about an instrument, a performer, or a composition.
