Duncan S. Moore
Overview
With two decades of experience in both the competitive and professional event field, I will provide complete satisfaction for any event that requires the bagpipes in the Greater Mid-Atlantic region. I've performed at numerous venues in the United States including the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, Strathmore Music Center, Folger Shakespeare Library, the National Cathedral and the steps of the U.S. Capitol. My travels have taken me abroad to Maxville, Ontario for the North American Pipe Band Championships as well as the Worlds Pipe Band Championships overseas in Glasgow, Scotland. I guarantee a professional performance upon request.

June 18, 2018Outdoor wedding
Duncan was fabulous!! We had an outdoor wedding at a state park with a Scottish theme. The bag pipes really added to the ambiance. He even learned two songs for us that we requested. He was very professional, well-dressed, and entertaining for guests. We were basically winging the ceremony without any rehearsals beforehand and he was always in the right place at the right time. We highly recommend him!!

May 14, 2018Excellent musician and professional!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Duncan Moore and his bagpipe services which he performed for our Commencement event at Wilson College. Not only was he the consummate professional, dealing with a multitude of last minute changes due to weather related issues, but his playing of A Call to Arms was absolute perfection!! We would hire him again in an instant!!

October 23, 2017Excellent Bagpiper
For my father's wedding, Duncan was friendly, game, skilled, prompt and really put in the homework to find songs apt to the clan of my father's heritage. Couldn't be more pleased with Duncan's beautiful performance and attire. Thank you Duncan!!! Everyone was taken by the beautiful music, it made it all the more memorable experience for my family. Best wishes to you.

What to expect
You can expect talent, courtesy and professionalism upon hiring me for your event. I'm very flexible to specific needs and conditions depending on the logistics of the engagement. I have a wide repertoire of music and am almost always able to learn new tunes upon request. I perform wearing the standard highland dress thats illustrated in my PromoKit.
About
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD. I was brought up by my family with an appreciation of my Scottish heritage. Owing to exposure of the bagpipes through close friends and family, I studied the instrument from the age of 9. Over the years I've had the opportunity to study with master pipers and play in the premier pipe band on the East coast. I now focus mainly on events ranging from Weddings to Funerals to St. Patrick's Day parties.
Additional booking notes
The pipes are a very loud instrument. For that reason, sometimes volume constraints can become an issue depending on the venue. I also play a smaller, quieter set of pipes that are more appropriate for smaller spaces.
