Catch Chris and harpist Martha Waldvogel as they perform with the Battle Creek Symphony Saturday, February 6, 2010 at the WK Kellogg Auditorium.

On Saturday, February 20, Chris will perform the legendary Brendan Voyage, a concerto for uilleann pipes and orchestra with the Billings Symphony Orchestra.

“Christopher Layer is a jaw-dropping virtuoso on the Irish, Uilleann Pipes…” –from the Washington Post review of Layer with the National Symphony at The Kennedy Center.

“…a master of the Uilleann Pipes” -Fred Child, host of NPR’s Performance Today

March 17, 2006 - "The uilleann (illen) pipes have a distinctly Irish bite. We'll hear Christopher Layer in concert with two American symphonies. First, Layer plays the jig "Water Under the Keel," from Shaun Davey's "Brendan Voyage." Anne Harrigan is conducting the Battle Creek Symphony. Then Layer plays "Blackwell's" with the Lafayette Symphony of Indiana. Once again, Anne Harrigan, conducting an arrangement by Shaun Davey."
