Summer is here, and that means more time off (for some) and fun in the sun for nearly everyone.
It also means more outstanding live performance of ragtime music courtesy of the OCRS.
In the immediate future: Saturday, July 20 at Half-Off Books and Records (from 2 to 5 pm).
For July, we'll probably see the enjoyable consistent pattern of pianists pulling up ragtime-era piano pieces written by composers born in that month, and we might also hear pieces copyrighted in July.
We're happy to bring these free performances to you. We're also always delighted when the folks at Nixon Library have a cancellation that leads to an opening in the schedule and an invite to us to bring in a concert of ragtime piano.
And we're especially indebted to the folks at Half-Off Books. As it so happens, many of those who enjoy ragtime music the most are also ardent bibliophiles, so when they attend an OCRS event, they not only have a lot to listen to, but also a lot of prized printed material to peruse.
After this Saturday, our next concert at HOB is on September 21, on the cusp of the fall season.
We wish you happy times this July, August and September, and hope to see you whenever and wherever we're performing in Fullerton and Yorba Linda.

Since summer 2022, we've had a total of 20 OCRS musicales, and to say they've been remarkable would be to understate. The latest was in June 2024. Our most recent Nixon Library shows were on June 4, July 9, November 12 in 2023, and January 7, March 10 and June 9 in 2024.
