Highland Saga

Join the #pipersoftheworld – Bagpipers set an example against Corona! In recent months, events around the world have almost overturned due to the corona pandemic. Millions of people are affected by Covid-19, “Social Distancing” is the order of the day. The resulting global shutdown has hit many industries and economic sectors with full force. This applies in particular to the culture and events industry, which is currently suffering from a total failure. The major military music events, especially the legendary Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, had to be canceled this year. The German format “Deutschland Tattoo – Royal Music Show” is also affected by the cancellation wave. Pipe Major Ronald A. Bromhead, co-founder and director of the international bagpipe ensemble “Pipers Of The World”, which is a regular guest of “Deutschland Tattoo”, has given himself a signal to set an example in this situation, which is unprecedented for the event industry now embark on a “Tour of Hope”. Together with a small camera team, Bromhead travels all over Germany to famous places, plays the bagpipes and calls Piper from all over the world to come together online for a common song, the “Highland Saga Canon” – as a sign of international solidarity against the global corona pandemic and to seek support for comrades in economic crisis.    

The joint song will then be presented live on Saturday, June 20, 20 via the Internet with countless pipers from all over the world via Facebook and YouTube!
