About Pipedreams

The power and wonder of the “king of instruments.”
 
“Pipedreams engages a wide range of listeners—not just organists—and that is the magic and the beauty of it. Pipedreams is not only an ongoing course in organ repertoire, but it is also a door for people who have never yet heard a pipe organ or gone to an organ recital.” —The American Organist Magazine

Hosted by Michael Barone Produced by American Public Media
