Bagad New York

Bagad New York is a New-York based instrumental music ensemble presenting traditional Breton music in the format of a Bagad, or Breton pipe-band. Pretty similar to the traditional pipe band (Scottish Bagpipe + snare drums) but with an extra section, made of bombards (breton oboe). It start developing in Brittany after the second world war, and never stop its development.
The band consists of over a dozen musicians from across New York and New England as well as North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, and Louisiana.

A particularity of Bagad New York, is that we give a high value to the dancing music. Because breton dance is so much fun that we are eager to shre with the community!

Bagad New York is the only Bagad based in the United States, the first ever created outside of France and one of only a handful outside of Brittany.
