Description

Andrew Greene will perform a ragtime piano music concert.

Andrew Greene is an accomplished ragtime pianist and scholar of ragtime music. He has performed at many prestigious venues in the United States, including the Kennedy Center, the West Coast Ragtime Festival, and The Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival. He also is the Founder, Conductor, and Director of the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra, which the Washington Post hailed as “the premier American Ragtime ensemble.”

He is the curator of several ragtime music collections and also maintains an extensive personal collection of orchestrated ragtime music and recordings. These collections totals over 15,000 selections of music from 1862 to 1950.

In his program with the Huntingdon County Arts Council, Andrew will highlight the music of Scott Joplin, alongside other leading composers from the early 20th century. Join us Sunday, January 22 for an afternoon of toe-tapping music from a century ago!
