Arts in the Afternoon Scott Kirby: Ragtime and Beyond

Kirby has achieved a rarified status as a performer of ragtime and related American styles. His unique presentation highlights the worlds of Classic Ragtime, New Orleans Jazz, and Blues, then expands to include the marches of John Philip Sousa, the songs of Stephen Foster, Latin-American styles, Afro-Cuban rhythms, European Romanticism, Rock & Roll, and original works. Kirby’s sense of Americana is enhanced by his historical commentary, and also by his artwork.
