SUMMARY:Paragon Ragtime Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Step into the early 1900s\, when electricity dazzles\, cars roar to life\, airplanes lift off\, and vaudeville stars are born. Scott Joplin’s irresistible rhythms steal the spotlight in this lively\, one-of-a-kind concert experience in which conductor and pianist Rick Benjamin and his orchestra journey through the nation’s musical roots. Featuring gems by Joplin\, Joseph F. Lamb\, James Scott\, George Botsford\, May Aufderheide\, and Kerry Mills\, this popular slice of Americana brings the music of a bygone era close to home once again. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“Hearing this music\, performed in this setting\, by these people\, is not something you can capture on YouTube\, or even on an album played at home on a good stereo. The experience requires being in the room\, focusing on the stage and its surroundings with eyes\, ears\, and occasionally a tapping foot\, feeling it rawly and cementing it into memory.”—The Syncopated Times \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk by Rick Benjamin\, founder and conductor of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra\, in Ramsey Concert Hall prior to the performance from 6:45-7:15 pm.
