Luminaries: Scott Joplin, the King of Ragtime

American composer and pianist Scott Joplin was dubbed the “King of Ragtime.” His hit “Maple Leaf Rag” is nearly as popular today as it was in 1899, appearing in video games, cartoons, commercials, and the soundtracks of hundreds of films. In this presentation, musician Kevin MacDowell will play several of Joplin’s ragtime compositions and share anecdotes from Joplin's life.
