Pipedreams 40th Anniversary

September 17, 2023

"Each week, Pipedreams host Michael Barone shares selected organ works and performances, and in doing so, encourages listeners to engage both their ears and imaginations to gain greater appreciation of this instrument. He talks with composers, organists, organ builders and restorers. The show features brand new instruments in churches and concert halls, plus historic pipe organs recorded in locations around the world, from ancient instruments in vast cathedrals to the “mighty Wurlitzers” of movie house fame." We are so pleased for host Michael Barone and the entire Pipedreams team on the 40th Anniversary of continuous weekly national broadcasts! We appreciate the fans and supporters who make this possible. Learn more about the program, listen online or on YourClassical MPR, and sign a virtual congratulations card for Michael Barone!
