Ragtime was a sensation that overtook the United States at the turn of the 20th century, and Scott Joplin was the man responsible for bringing it into the forefront. A classically trained musician, Joplin’s lifelong goal was to see ragtime accepted as a serious art form. However, his life was tragically cut short, and he never saw many of his dreams fulfilled. Presenter Dan Lupo will explore what made ragtime so special and will delve into the details of Joplin’s life. Visit the event calendar for details at www.freeportlibrary.info.
