Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Symphony Space

Originating within African-American communities in the late 19th century, ragtime grew into a distinctly American form of popular music and could be heard everywhere from brothels and bars to house parties and juke joints. Enjoy the music of Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, and more, and get ready to party like it's 1899!

Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman in Residence: Ragtime

Before rock, soul, and R&B took over the airwaves, pop music celebrated the sounds of jazz, and the roots of swing, and big band. With music by Irving Berlin, Walter Donaldson, and more, go back in time and hear what your ancestors were telling all of their friends about.
