Celebrating the pipe organ, the King of Instruments |
Pipedreams originated as a discrete series of fourteen broadcasts, offered from January to April 1982, with content primarily derived from concerts recorded during the 1980 AGO convention. These programs were produced at Minnesota Public Radio and distributed by American Public Radio, now PRI and were made possible in cooperation with National Public Radio. Funding came from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, the Dayton Hudson Foundation, the Episcopal Choirmasters Handbook created by John C. Grant, and Mr. & Mrs. Wesley C. Dudley. The Dudleys have thankfully continued as program underwriters through the entire history of Pipedreams.
…performances of Baroque repertoire at House of Hope Presbyterian Church, Saint Paul, by German recitalist Harald Vogel; and a Choral Evensong Office sung at the Basilica of Saint Mary, Minneapolis, by the Choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, conducted by Barry Rose, with organist John Scott.
