A World Of Ragtime
Actor-singer Byron Nilsson and pianist Malcolm Kogut bring us into the 20th Century with a delightful program of songs and piano solos that capture the spirit of the Ragtime Era, when America’s tunesmiths found a syncopated beat and music changed forever. It all began with Scott Joplin, but once Irving Berlin’s “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” became a hit in 1911, Tin Pan Alley went crazy with imitations. Spirited numbers like “That Shakespearean Rag” (which influenced T.S. Eliot), Eddie Cantor hits and other up-tempo favorites will keep your toes tapping along.
* This performance is underwritten by an Individual Artist Grant from Saratoga Arts, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature.
