**Event Title:** Pipe Dreams

**Dates:** April 10-11, 2025

**Guest Artist:** Andrew Galuska, pipe organ

**Overview:**
The Atlantic Classical Orchestra presents "Pipe Dreams," a captivating concert that places the organ at the heart of its fourth Masterworks series. This event features the brilliant Andrew Galuska, Director of Music and Fine Arts at the Community Church of Vero Beach, Florida, as the guest artist. Galuska, an award-winning organist, will guide the audience through a rare opportunity to experience Horatio Parker’s Concerto for Organ. Parker, a late-19th Century American composer and renowned pedagogue, was a significant figure in his time, having served as both a professor and dean at Yale.

The concert opens with a piece originally composed for organ by one of Parker’s students, Charles Ives. The orchestral arrangement by William Schuman retains the wit, charm, and humor of the original. The second half of the program features Edward Elgar’s magnificent Enigma Variations, a theme and fourteen variations, each portraying a friend, showcasing a range of emotions from virtuosic to poignant, hilarious, and sentimental.
