International Bagpipe Organisation

The International Bagpipe Organisation (IBO) was founded by Cassandre Balosso-Bardin in Autumn 2012, following the success of the First International Bagpipe Conference in March 2012.

The IBO has created a platform where bagpipe studies and music can be shared on an international level. Academic and non-academic studies of bagpipes have been carried out in many different parts of the world but the knowledge is often constrained to a geographical area. The IBO, with the organisation of a biennal International Bagpipe Conference, wishes to remedy this and bring the study of bagpipes to the world.
