Graduation & Civic Ceremony

Marking the transition from candidate to graduate.

Graduation ceremonies and civic occasions carry a formality that rewards ceremony. A piper marks the transition — from candidate to graduate, from private to public — with a sound that is both ancient and immediately understood. Ceòlmhor provides piping for university graduations, civic receptions, mayoral and council ceremonies, and formal institutional events across Edinburgh and Scotland.
