Young Authority on Ragtime

Andrew Greene, founder, conductor, and director of the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra, leads the orchestra tonight in a Westport Levitt Pavilion performance. Greene, 25, is a ragtime pianist, archivist, and authority on orchestral ragtime and silent film accompaniment. He founded the orchestra while a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, hoping to draw attention to this neglected but historically important music.
