Michael’s Appearances!

Last updated on February, 2025.

PIPEDREAMS host Michael Barone makes occasional in-person guest appearances here and there.  Below are some upcoming involvements: 

Michael Barone will be co-host for a Bach-A-Thon at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA…March 3 @6AM to March 4 @1AM…a traversal of the Complete Organ Works of Bach…featuring performers from the Southern California Chapter of the American Guild of Organists playing the 280-rank Aeolian-Skinner/Ruffatte pipe organ, the world’s fifth-largest!

Pipedreams host Michael Barone teams up with Minneapolis organist Stephen Hamilton for a performance of The Stations of the Cross/Le Chemin de la Croix by Marcel Dupré.  The concert will take place at Wesley United Methodist Church (400 Iowa Avenue) in Muscatine, IA on Friday, March 21, 2025 at 7PM.  This sequence of fourteen meditations was inspired by intense and emotive texts of Paul Claudel that describe the procession of Christ to Calvary.  Dupré first improvised this music but later wrote down his thoughts, creating a powerful artistic interpretation of a moment from the Passiontide.  Along with accompanying projections of artwork depicting the Stations, Barone will read English translations of the Claudel texts and Hamilton will play the church’s recent C.B. Fisk pipe organ (Op. 153).  The program is free to all.

On Sunday, March 30 at 2PM, Pipedreams host Michael Barone teams up with Duluth-area organist Charles Sundquistfor another performance of The Stations of the Cross/Le Chemin de la Croix by Marcel Dupré.  This event takes place at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary (2801 East Fourth Street) in Duluth, MN, and feature’s the Cathedral’s 34-rank 1988 Robert Sipe pipe organ.
