Spanish Peaks Piping Retreat

Save the date and plan to attend the 2022 in-person Spanish Peaks Piping Retreat in scenic La Veta, Colorado! This friendly gathering offers classes focused on Scottish smallpipes and uillean pipes, and welcomes beginners right through to advanced players.
 
One of the awesome benefits is it coincides with the Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival (https://celticmusicfest.com/) — bands, ceilidhs, concerts galore!
 
Dates: Thursday, Sept. 22-Sunday, Sept. 25
Cost: $250

We’re super excited about having Jerry O’Sullivan return, and have Barry Shears come for his inaugural visit.  Past retreat attendees know Jerry, of course, and you’ll be equally impressed with Barry, who specializes in Cape Breton music   

Please submit your email and any questions to Jim Conley at SpanishPeaksPiping@gmail.com  Schedule details subject to change.  We hope to have an additional surprise, or maybe two!
