A National Treasure is the fourth concert held in Perth in the memory of Gordon Duncan, a piper, folk musician and composer, who is widely regarded as one of the most skilled and innovative traditional music performers and composers of modern times.

The 2010 concert features performances from Seamus Begley and Tim Edey, Willie McCallum, Old Blind Dogs, Galician piper Xose Manuel Budino, the Pitlochry & Blair Atholl Pipe Band and the Gordy Duncan Jr Band.

While steeped in the art of traditional highland piping, his approach to his music was always imaginative, fresh and at times radical, to the extent that his influence can be heard within an entire generation of younger musicians across Scotland and well beyond. Gordon died in December 2005, aged 41.

The annual concert is organised by the Gordon Duncan Trust, which was set up for the promotion of piping and other forms of traditional music amongst young people in Scotland, and this concert features performances by over 30 young musicians who have benefited from the work in the trust by being part of the Gordon Duncan Experience orchestra.
