Orchestral, concert, and recording bagpiper
Highland bagpipes for orchestral programs, concert appearances, chamber collaborations, solo performance, recording sessions, livestreams, and remote recording from a home studio.
InquireEnsemble, stage, and studio
Zach provides Highland bagpipe performance for orchestral collaborations, concert appearances, chamber projects, solo performance, recording sessions, livestreams, and remote recording from his home studio.
Projects are planned with conductors, producers, or collaborators so preparation, cues, and musical role are clear before rehearsal or session time.
How bagpipes may fit the project
Bagpipes may appear as an orchestral color, a concert feature, a chamber partner, a solo voice, or a tracked part in a recording or livestream. The scope depends on the score, program, or production plan.
Each collaboration is coordinated individually — including rehearsal needs, remote recording logistics, or on-site session details — rather than following a single fixed format.
Musician first
Zach has performed bagpipes with orchestras. Broader experience on cello, violin, piano, guitar, and bass supports ensemble awareness and collaborative preparation.
He also records and live-streams from his home studio when a project needs remote bagpipe tracks or a livestream appearance.
What collaborators can expect
- Clear communication about repertoire needs, rehearsal plans, and technical requirements at a high level.
- Respect for conductors, producers, and fellow musicians’ processes.
- Flexibility for Colorado projects, select destination collaborations, and remote sessions when scheduling allows.
Service area
Zach collaborates on projects in Colorado and on select destination engagements when travel and scheduling allow.

Yes. Collaboration works best when the part serves the score and the ensemble. If bagpipes are not the right color for the project, I will say so early.
