    Jean-Baptiste Robin Pipedreams Interview at St. Olaf Catholic Church

    John Kuntz acted as Lead Video Producer & Editor — developed in collaboration with featured artist, talent, and remote production team.

    As organist of the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles, Robin carries forward a distinctly French tradition, one that connects him to composers like François Couperin, Maurice Ravel, and Jean-Baptiste Lully. During his visit to The Catholic Church of St. Olaf in downtown Minneapolis, Robin performed on the Lively-Fulcher pipe organ, offering a rare chance to hear this repertoire brought to life by one of today’s leading interpreters. Pipedreams host, Michael Barone, explores that lineage and sound world with Robin. Keep an eye out as we continue releasing more from this special visit.
