The 2017 Southern California Tionól will take place over the weekend of November 10, 11 & 12, 2017.
Our guest this year will be Patrick Hutchinson. For reedmaking we're delighted to welcome our own local reed maestro Michael O'Donovan to offer moral support to one and all.
This years classes and party are back in the home of Gabriel McKeagney.
The concert will be held in the beautiful Spanish Mission town of San Juan Capistrano's Library. You will be familiar with this location from our Tionól last year and also one with Robbie Hannan many moons ago.
Friday will be the usual meet and greet/session. Classes will be held during the day on Saturday followed by the concert that evening. Sunday will be a more relaxed day of learning and piping lore.
Registration: $100
Concert Only: $20 suggested donation at the door.
Anyone that buys a flight to attend earns a $25 discount off registration.
