Ragtime revels

Ragtime Revels
Ragtime Revels combines rags by Scott Joplin and ragtime songs for two vocal soloists, all arranged for symphony orchestras. you'll enjoy both the familiar and long forgotten music of the Ragtime Era. For example, you'll know Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag", but you may not recognize all the irresistible ragtime songs Irving Berlin wrote when he was known as "the King of Ragtime".
Ragtime Revels is available to symphony orchestras around the country.
