Tuesday, July 28, 2026 · 6:30 p.m. · ICCA Arts Centre

Scottish smallpipe player Brìghde Chaimbeul performs at ICCA Arts Centre for $20 in advance.

Brìghde Chaimbeul (pronounced "Breech-uh Campbell") is a master of the Scottish smallpipes from the Isle of Skye, a native Gaelic speaker who won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award at age seventeen. Her 2019 debut album, The Reeling, earned five-star reviews and a BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award for its fresh reading of traditional Gaelic tunes, drawing on influences from Cape Breton, Eastern Europe, and Ireland. Her performances emphasise the rich textural drones of the smallpipes, creating a mesmerising, trance-like atmosphere.
