Ragtime at the Levitt

The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra led by Andrew Greene performed at the Westport Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts tonight. One of the nation’s few professional ensembles dedicated to the preservation and performance of America’s first popular music, the orchestra has been called by the Washington Post “the premier American ragtime ensemble.” Among the music played were songs authored by Mel B. Kaufman, grandfather of Westporter Roger Kaufman, who now manages the orchestra. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo
