1990 Wolff organ at Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis, IN

Some select pipe organs in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa share the good muse.

…we’ve circled the globe to bring you this collection of concert performances featuring the pipe organ in solo, in ensemble, with piano, and with choir.

From concerts and compact discs, performances at Christ Church Cathedral and East 91st Street Christian Church.

Vibrant and colorful compositions by 20th century composers in the United States, important additions to the organ’s ongoing tradition.

Think of them as sweets for the ears. We unwrap a bundle of seasonal cheer and a coast-to-coast collection of talent on the next Pipedreams broadcast. Organists play in solo and duo at Saint John’s Cathedral, Milwaukee, Spivey Hall in Morrow, Georgia, and the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre, while choirs sing at Riverside Church, New York, Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis, and All Saints Lutheran in Kansas City. In 13 different venues, our carols and fantasies all feature artists and instruments from around the United States. Wherever you are, we’ll all be right at home this week with An American Organist’s Christmas, hosted by Michael Barone.
