Michael Barone is a native of Kingston, PA, where early keyboard lessons,
plus exposure to music at church and in school band and choral programs
undoubtedly influenced his 'outcome.' He earned a BM degree in Music
History at the Oberlin Conservatory (Ohio) and upon graduation in
1968, began work at KSJR-FM in the Collegeville, MN, the predecessor
to Minnesota Public Radio. He's been with MPR ever since, serving for
25 years as Music Director, and involved with two national productions
(St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Pipedreams) since 1982. He
is president of the Organ Historical Society and the Citroën Car
Club of Minnesota.
Pipedreams with Michael Barone is broadcast by Wisconsin Public
Radio on WERN-FM 88.7 every
Friday from 8:30 - 10:00 p.m. Additional information, national
carriage lists and access to dozens of past programs in an 'audio
